Gabion walls bring a modern, architectural look while handling tricky level changes with ease. Around New Cross station and Deptford Park, they’re a smart alternative to timber sleepers or rendered blockwork, especially where drainage matters. We build gabions as retaining walls, raised planters and crisp dividers that suit compact SE14 gardens. Every installation is sized to your space and finished with carefully chosen stone.
New Cross homes range from Victorian terraces to Georgian houses and converted flats, often with narrow side access and stepped gardens. We regularly work across the gabion walls New Cross area, including Deptford, Brockley and Nunhead, adapting designs to courtyards, roof terraces and long rear gardens. Where party walls and neighbouring boundaries are close, we plan heights and setbacks carefully. The result is a solid, tidy structure that complements period brickwork and contemporary extensions alike.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and load requirements, then provide a clear design and itemised quotation. Our team handles excavation, sub-base preparation, geotextiles and secure basket fixing, so the wall performs long-term. We keep disruption low with planned deliveries and clean working practices, and we can integrate lighting, seating and planters in one build. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham often have mixed ground and made-up soil, so we prioritise stable sub-bases and proper separation layers. Access can be tight near Goldsmiths University streets, with controlled parking and timed deliveries, so we plan logistics before work starts. For sloping plots around Telegraph Hill, we design gabions to manage levels without trapping water. We also match stone fills to local brick tones for a cohesive finish.

Retaining walls usually take 2–5 days depending on excavation depth, sub-base curing, drainage details and access for moving stone. If you’re adding lighting, steps or a water feature, allow extra time for cabling and commissioning. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with height, proximity to highways, listed buildings and conservation areas. Retaining structures can also require extra consideration if they affect drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll advise on typical limits and, where needed, help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins. If permissions or approvals are required, we can build to the approved specification.
