Costs vary with height, length, foundations, access and the stone fill you choose. As a guide, smaller decorative sections and planters often start from around £250–£450 per linear metre, while structural retaining gabions are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Integrated seating, lighting, steps or water features will increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in CR0.
Most projects take 1–3 days for a small planter or divider, and 3–7 days for longer retaining runs with groundwork and backfilling. Timescales depend on excavation depth, spoil removal, access for materials, and whether you’re adding features like seating, lighting or a water feature. Weather and curing time for any concrete footings can also affect the programme. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Many 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. We’ll advise during the survey and, if required, help you check guidance for the London Borough of Croydon before work begins. Compliance is built into our design approach.
