Whether you’re levelling a lawn, defining a patio, or building raised planters, we design each wall to suit your space and lifestyle.

Expect crisp lines, durable materials and a finish that looks intentional from every angle.
Homes here range from 1930s semis to post-war housing and maisonettes, and each brings different garden challenges. Narrow side access, stepped levels and compact rear gardens often benefit from gabions that double as seating or boundaries. For clients in the gabion walls Pollards Hill area, we balance strong engineering with a refined look that complements brickwork, paving and planting. If you’re also comparing options in Norbury, Mitcham or Streatham Vale, we can match the style across front and back gardens for a cohesive result.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear design proposal, including stone fill choices and any lighting runs. Our builds use properly braced baskets, stable bases and neat detailing at corners, ends and returns. You’ll get transparent scheduling, tidy working practices and straightforward communication from start to finish. Many local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we deliver robust results that look premium and stay that way.
In the London Borough of Merton, gardens can have mixed ground and variable levels, so we design bases and drainage to suit the site rather than guessing. Parking and access can be tight around South Lodge Avenue, so we plan deliveries and stone handling to minimise disruption. We also consider neighbouring boundaries, sightlines and how the wall will look from upper-floor windows in 1930s semis and maisonettes. The result is a wall that performs structurally and looks carefully finished.

Costs vary with height, length, stone type and whether the wall is retaining. As a guide, small decorative or planter gabions often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while retaining gabion walls are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Curves, steps, bespoke baskets, lighting and difficult access can increase labour and handling. We’ll measure, confirm ground conditions and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most domestic gabion projects take 1–3 days, depending on excavation, base preparation and the amount of stone fill. A simple divider or planter can be completed in a day, while retaining walls with drainage, stepped levels or multiple sections may take 3–5 days. Access, spoil removal, weather and whether we’re integrating lighting or water features also affect the programme. We’ll confirm timescales after the survey.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, location (especially near highways), and whether the wall forms part of a boundary.
