Gabion walls bring a contemporary, architectural look while solving practical issues like slopes and awkward levels. Around Wimbledon Park and near Southfields tube station, they’re ideal for gardens that need robust retaining without heavy brickwork. We build crisp lines, clean corners and stable foundations, so the finish looks intentional rather than improvised. Expect a feature that performs in all weathers and still looks sharp year after year.
The Southfields Grid and surrounding streets include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and plenty of 1930s semis, often with long, narrow gardens. Gabions work brilliantly here: they create terraces, define dining zones and add privacy without blocking light. For homeowners wanting a premium upgrade, we can integrate seating, raised planters and subtle lighting to extend evening use. Our gabion walls Southfields area designs are scaled to suit both compact courtyards and larger family gardens.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear specification covering basket size, stone fill and foundations. Installation is tidy and planned around deliveries, with careful compaction and alignment for a straight, stable build. You’ll get straightforward communication, workmanship you can trust, and a finish that complements your paving and planting. Many clients choose us for gabion walls in London Borough of Wandsworth because we balance engineering with design detail.
SW18 gardens often have restricted access, shared side passages and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We design foundations and drainage to suit local ground conditions and prevent wash-out behind retaining sections. Where boundaries sit close to neighbours, we keep lines precise and heights appropriate. If any work touches party walls or front boundaries, we’ll flag it early and advise on the right approach.

Costs vary by height, length, basket specification and stone choice. As a guide, smaller decorative gabion features often start from around £250–£450 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabion walls are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Extras such as lighting, seating tops, steps, groundworks and drainage can increase budgets. We’ll survey your SW18 garden and provide an itemised estimate.
Most small gabion features (planters, dividers or short seating runs) take 1–2 days including groundwork. Larger retaining walls typically take 3–7 days depending on excavation, drainage, access and how quickly stone can be delivered and placed. Timescales also change with custom sizes, curves and integrated lighting or water features. We’ll confirm a programme after measuring levels and confirming the design.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, especially in rear gardens, but rules can change with height, proximity to highways, listed buildings or conservation areas. Retaining structures can also need careful design where they affect boundaries or drainage. We’ll discuss your proposals, check likely constraints in Wandsworth, and advise if a planning application or party wall process is sensible before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for gabion wall installations, covering structural stability and installation defects under normal use. This includes correct assembly, foundations, alignment and fixings as specified. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, ground movement caused by third-party works, or issues from altered drainage after completion. We’ll also explain expected maintenance, such as occasional stone settlement checks.
You can choose from various stone fills, including granite, limestone, flint and mixed river cobbles, with sizes selected for the basket mesh.
