From terraces near Hyde Park to courtyard gardens close to Harrods, gabion walls add a contemporary architectural edge without feeling harsh. They’re ideal where you need level changes managed neatly, or want strong, elegant boundaries. We design gabions that suit Knightsbridge’s luxury setting, with stone fills chosen to complement brick, stucco, and modern cladding. The result is a feature that looks intentional, not improvised.
The Knightsbridge area is defined by grand mansion blocks, period townhouses and ultra-luxury apartments, often with compact but high-value outdoor space. We regularly work across SW1 and SW3 where access can be tight and finishes must be immaculate. Gabions are a smart solution for terraces, lightwells and raised beds because they’re robust, drain well, and can be tailored to awkward footprints. Our detailing is designed to sit comfortably alongside premium paving and joinery.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, load requirements and drainage, then provide a clear design and specification. Every installation is built on a properly prepared base, with engineered baskets, secure ties and carefully graded stone to prevent movement and bulging. We coordinate deliveries, protect surrounding surfaces, and keep the site tidy and quiet. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent communication, and a finish that lasts.
Projects here often involve restricted access, strict delivery windows and careful neighbour considerations. We plan around resident parking controls, loading restrictions and council requirements, and we can break materials down for hand-carry where needed. Ground conditions vary from made ground to compacted sub-bases in refurbished courtyards, so we specify foundations and drainage accordingly. Our gabion walls in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster settings are designed to be strong, discreet and compliant.

Costs vary with height, length, access and the chosen stone fill. As a guide, smaller decorative gabion features and planters often start from around £300–£600 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabions commonly fall between £600–£1,200+ per linear metre. Integrated seating, lighting, or water feature detailing can increase budgets. We provide a site-specific quotation after assessing levels, drainage and delivery constraints in SW1/SW3.
Most small gabion planters or dividers can be installed in 1–3 days, depending on groundwork and access. Retaining walls typically take 3–7 days, especially where excavation, drainage runs and stepped levels are required. Timescales are affected by basket size, stone selection, restricted delivery slots, and whether we’re integrating lighting, seating or planters. We’ll confirm a programme after the survey and final design approval.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, listed buildings and conservation areas. In Knightsbridge, it’s common to have additional constraints on period properties and mansion blocks. We’ll check the relevant guidance for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster, advise on likely requirements, and can help prepare details if consent or landlord/freeholder approval is needed.
We include a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect installation, inadequate base preparation, or poor fixing. The warranty is valid provided the wall isn’t altered by others and drainage isn’t compromised after handover. Materials are specified for durability, and we’ll explain expected performance and maintenance. If any snagging arises, we respond promptly and resolve it professionally.
Gabions can be filled with a wide range of stone, from warm limestone and flint mixes to slate, granite or recycled brick for a more urban look. We can create retaining walls, seating, planters, dividers and surrounds for water features, with custom basket sizes to suit tight footprints. Lighting can be integrated subtly along edges or within nearby planting. We’ll help you choose a palette that complements your property and existing hard landscaping.
