Soho’s courtyards and terraces often need hard-working features that look sharp year-round. Our gabion walls bring texture and strength for retaining, screening and zoning outdoor spaces near Soho Square and Carnaby Street. They’re ideal for creating level changes, edging planting, or adding a robust backdrop to a water feature. Every build is tailored to the footprint and access constraints common in W1.
We regularly work across the gabion walls Soho area, including Fitzrovia, Covent Garden and Leicester Square, where outdoor space is at a premium. Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions often have narrow side access, shared boundaries and sensitive finishes to protect. Gabions offer a clean, architectural solution that complements brickwork and stone façades without feeling heavy. We can also integrate seating and planters to make every square metre count.
Fine Landscaping manages the full job: survey, design, specification, groundworks, drainage and a precise install. We use quality baskets, correct stone grading and robust foundations so the wall stays stable and drains freely. You’ll get clear scheduling, tidy working practices and considerate delivery planning for busy streets around Liberty London. Many clients choose us for gabion walls in City of Westminster because we plan carefully and build to last.
Soho sites often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and limited on-street parking, so we plan logistics before work starts. Ground conditions can vary between older made ground and compacted sub-bases from previous refurbishments, which affects footing design and drainage. We also factor in party walls, basement lightwells and neighbouring structures typical of W1 properties. Where council guidance applies, we help keep the project compliant and well documented.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Soho, gabion walls typically start from around £250–£450 per linear metre for low features, depending on height, basket specification and stone choice. Retaining walls with engineered foundations, drainage and stepped levels are more commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Seating, planters, lighting and difficult access (stairs, lifts, timed deliveries) can increase costs. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most smaller gabion features such as planters, dividers or short seating runs take 1–3 days once materials are on site. Larger retaining walls usually take 3–7 days, allowing for excavation, sub-base preparation, drainage and careful stone placement. Timescales depend on access in W1, spoil removal, curing time for any concrete footings, and whether you’re adding lighting or water features. We’ll confirm a programme before starting.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with height, boundary positions, listed buildings and conservation areas—common in City of Westminster. If your property is a Georgian townhouse, a mansion flat with communal areas, or a commercial conversion, there may be extra constraints from freeholders or management companies. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check with the council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall workmanship, covering installation quality such as basket assembly, alignment, fixings, and the stability of the built structure when used as designed. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage routes are not blocked or altered after completion. We also use reputable materials and specify suitable stone grading to reduce settlement. Care guidance is provided to keep everything performing well.
You can choose from various stone fills including granite, limestone, flint, recycled brick and mixed river cobbles, with options for feature bands and colour-matched blends. We design custom sizes for planters, dividers and retaining walls, and can incorporate timber or stone capping for seating comfort. Low-voltage lighting can be recessed for safe evening use, and gabions can frame water features neatly. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style and budget.
