Our gabion walls create clean, contemporary lines while handling real load, making them ideal near patios and lawn edges. Whether you’re close to Norwood Grove Park or walking distance from Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, we design solutions that suit how you use your outdoor space. Expect crisp detailing, tidy finishes and stone fills that complement your home.
We work across Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace and South Norwood, where Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions commonly have compact plots, raised terraces and older boundary walls. Gabions are a great fit for these settings because they drain naturally and can be shaped to awkward corners. If you want seating built into a retaining run, or planters that double as dividers, we’ll tailor the layout to your garden’s footprint. This is gabion walls Norwood Grove area homeowners choose when they want durability without bulky masonry.
Our process starts with a site visit and clear design brief, followed by levels, drainage checks and a detailed proposal. We source quality cages, specify the right stone grading, and build on a properly prepared base for long-term stability. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices and a finish that looks intentional from every angle. Local clients trust us because we build for longevity and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Croydon, many SE19 gardens sit on mixed ground with changes in level, so we prioritise stable sub-bases and controlled drainage. Access can be narrow around period terraces, so materials are planned for efficient delivery and minimal disruption. We also consider boundary positions and neighbouring structures, keeping lines straight and finishes neat. Our designs suit local property character while meeting practical constraints.
