From riverside plots near Kingston Bridge to compact gardens around Surbiton, gabions offer a smart, architectural way to shape outdoor space. We build retaining walls, raised planters and crisp dividers that look natural while handling real ground pressure. With the Bentall Centre and the town’s busy streets close by, we plan deliveries and access carefully to keep disruption low. Expect clean lines, tidy finishes and stone fills chosen to suit your home.
Kingston upon Thames features everything from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to modern waterfront apartments, and each needs a slightly different approach. Period gardens often benefit from stepped retaining gabions to level lawns without losing character. Newer properties frequently suit slimmer, contemporary gabion dividers with integrated lighting. We regularly work across KT1 and KT2, tailoring heights, cages and finishes to the plot and the style of the building.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear design proposal, then confirm foundations, drainage and any load requirements before installation. Our team uses quality galvanised cages, correct compaction and robust fixings so walls stay straight and stable for years. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and reliable scheduling—Kingston is around 30 minutes from our base. Every project is built to a specification you can understand and sign off before work begins.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames we often encounter mixed ground conditions, from made-up garden soil to heavier clay, so we design bases and drainage accordingly. Access can be tight on residential roads near the centre, and we plan loading, parking and waste removal to minimise inconvenience. For riverside settings and modern blocks, we consider water management and clean contemporary detailing. For older homes, we match proportions and finishes so the gabions don’t look out of place.

Costs vary by height, length, stone fill and whether the wall is retaining or decorative. As a guide, smaller non-retaining gabion features often start from around £250–£450 per linear metre. Retaining gabion walls with proper foundations, drainage and heavier cages are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Seating, planters, lighting and complex levels can increase the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most domestic gabion projects take 1–3 days, depending on access, groundwork and the amount of stone to place. A simple divider or planter can often be completed in a day, while a longer retaining wall may take several days including excavation, base preparation and drainage. Timescales are affected by site levels, disposal requirements, delivery access in KT1/KT2, and whether you choose integrated lighting or multiple tiers.
Many garden gabion walls are permitted development, especially when they’re within the rear garden and not excessively tall. However, rules can change if the wall borders a highway, forms part of a front boundary, affects visibility, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work starts, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Our gabion wall installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues such as structural movement caused by installation defects, incorrect fixing, or inadequate base preparation. We also use quality materials designed for outdoor use, and we’ll explain manufacturer expectations for cages and stone. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, unauthorised alterations, or extreme events outside normal conditions, but we’re always available to inspect and advise.
Gabions are highly flexible: we can create retaining walls, seating, planters, water-feature surrounds and privacy dividers in custom sizes. Popular stone fills include rounded river cobbles, angular granite, limestone, flint and mixed recycled aggregates for a more contemporary look. We can also add timber or stone caps, integrate low-voltage lighting, and vary cage depths for different visual weights. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your paving, brickwork and planting scheme.
