Gabion walls are a practical way to manage slopes, create terraces and introduce crisp boundaries without heavy brickwork. In SE12, we regularly design builds that complement gardens near the Lee Green crossroads and routes towards Lee station. Whether you want a retaining wall, a divider for a side return, or a raised planter to frame a patio, gabions deliver strength with a contemporary look. We can also integrate lighting to make the feature work after dark.
Lee Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with long gardens, changes in level and narrow access. We plan deliveries and assembly so materials move efficiently through side passages and shared alleys. Our gabion walls Lee Green area projects are designed to match existing paving and brickwork while improving drainage and usability. The result is a garden that feels more organised, with better-defined zones for seating, planting and play.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design proposal showing sizes, finishes and drainage details. Every wall is built on a stable base, with correctly tied cages and graded stone fills for a neat face. We keep the site tidy, communicate timings, and only sign off when levels, lines and fixings are spot on. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on installation.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find mixed ground conditions and gardens that need careful drainage planning to avoid water pooling. Around Leegate Shopping Centre and nearby residential streets, access and parking can be limited, so we schedule deliveries and loading to minimise disruption. We also design gabions to suit typical boundary lines and existing fences, keeping neighbours in mind. Every build is adapted to your plot, levels and intended use.

As a guide, smaller decorative gabion features and planters often start from around £600–£1,500, while retaining gabion walls commonly fall in the £200–£450 per linear metre range depending on height and groundwork. Integrated seating, lighting, steps or water features will increase the budget. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Many straightforward gabion walls can be completed in 1–3 days, including base preparation, cage assembly and stone filling. Larger retaining walls, terracing, or projects that include planters, seating or lighting typically take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, disposal needs, access through side passages, and whether we’re working around existing patios or services. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts.
Most garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change depending on wall height, proximity to a highway, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. Retaining structures may also need extra consideration for safety and drainage. We’ll advise during the survey and, where needed, help you check guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham before any build begins.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall installation workmanship. This covers issues caused by installation faults, such as cage alignment, fixings, and base preparation, when the wall has been used as intended. Natural settling and cosmetic changes to stone are normal over time, but structural performance should remain sound. We also explain simple maintenance steps to keep the wall looking its best.
We offer various stone fills, from granite and limestone to flint and mixed recycled aggregates, chosen for colour, size and the finish you want. Cages can be built in custom sizes for retaining walls, seating, planters, dividers and even water-feature surrounds. We can add coping details, timber seating tops, and discreet low-voltage lighting. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that suit your paving, brickwork and planting.
