Gabion walls bring a crisp, architectural look while solving real garden challenges such as level changes and awkward boundaries. In Pimlico, we often install them to frame terraces, create raised planters, or form subtle dividers for seating areas. Projects around Tate Britain and St George's Square suit gabions particularly well, pairing stone texture with clean lines. The result is a feature that feels contemporary yet at home in SW1 gardens.
Local properties here range from Regency townhouses to mansion blocks and period conversions, often with compact courtyards or roof terraces. That means every centimetre matters: gabions can double as retaining walls, benches, and planters without bulky construction. We design for privacy, drainage, and long-term stability, whether you’re in Westminster, Victoria or close to Chelsea. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and installation methods to minimise disruption.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and confirm the best wall build-up for your garden. You’ll receive a clear specification covering basket sizes, stone fill, drainage and any extras such as lighting or water features. Our team builds neatly and safely, keeping pathways protected and the site tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a warranty-backed finish.
Gardens in the City of Westminster often have limited access, strict parking controls and sensitive boundaries between neighbouring properties. We plan timed deliveries, compact handling and tidy storage to suit mansion blocks and townhouse streets near Pimlico tube station. Ground conditions can vary with made-up ground and old hardstanding, so we assess stability and specify proper foundations and drainage. Where needed, we also design heights and finishes to respect overlooking and shared walls.

Costs depend on height, basket thickness, stone type and access. As a guide, smaller decorative gabion features or planters often start from around £900–£1,800, while retaining walls typically range from £250–£450 per linear metre for standard heights, rising for deeper foundations, complex steps or premium stone fills. Integrated seating, lighting or water features will add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most gabion installations take 1–3 days for planters, seating or short dividers, and 3–7 days for retaining walls or multi-level gardens. Timescales depend on excavation depth, drainage requirements, stone fill volume, and whether we’re building steps, corners or tiered sections. Access in SW1 can also affect delivery and handling time. We confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change depending on wall height, proximity to highways, listed building status, and whether the property sits within a conservation area—common across the City of Westminster. Retaining walls may also need careful consideration due to structural implications and neighbouring boundaries. We check constraints, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information for the council if consent is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations, covering issues such as structural failure due to installation faults, poor fixing, or inadequate drainage specification. The warranty assumes normal use and that surrounding ground levels aren’t altered later without advice. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and we use appropriate baskets, ties and foundations for the design loads. You’ll also receive care guidance to keep everything performing well.
You can choose from various stone fills—such as limestone, granite, flint or mixed river cobbles—to suit period conversions or contemporary terraces. We build custom sizes and shapes, including curved sections, stepped retaining walls, seating-height benches, raised planters and privacy dividers. Many clients add warm LED lighting or incorporate a simple water feature for sound and movement. We’ll bring samples, discuss colour and scale, and design around your garden’s levels and layout.
