Honor Oak’s hills and level changes make gabions a practical, good-looking solution for modern gardens. From One Tree Hill down towards Honor Oak Park station, we build gabion retaining walls that stabilise banks and create usable terraces. They also work brilliantly as dividers, raised planters and informal seating. Every design is sized to suit your layout and access.
We regularly work across the gabion walls Honor Oak area, including nearby Forest Hill and Brockley, where gardens can be narrow, stepped and overlooked. Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often need space-saving retaining walls, while 1930s semis benefit from stronger boundary definition and raised planting. We design gabions that complement brickwork, paving and period details without looking industrial. The result is a structure that feels considered, not bolted on.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and drainage assessment, followed by clear drawings and a fixed scope of works. We use quality galvanised baskets, correct foundations and properly graded stone fills for long-term stability. Work is kept tidy, with careful protection of paths and neighbouring boundaries. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication and a finish that stands up to London weather.
Across SE23 we often find mixed ground, mature roots and gardens with tricky steps and access. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential streets. Where boundaries meet neighbours, we set out accurately and manage drainage so water doesn’t track onto adjoining plots. We’re familiar with working expectations for gabion walls in London Borough of Lewisham and keep builds compliant and considerate.

Timescales depend on excavation, ground preparation, drainage, and how easy it is to bring in baskets and stone. If you’re adding integrated seating, planters or lighting, allow extra time for setting out and electrical coordination. We’ll confirm a programme before work starts.
