Gabion walls bring structure to sloping gardens and create crisp, modern features without looking overbuilt. Around Stockwell tube station and SW9 streets, they’re ideal for tight side returns, raised beds and level changes behind patios. We build retaining walls, planters and dividers that feel intentional, not temporary. Add integrated lighting or a water feature and the whole garden becomes more usable after dark.
Stockwell has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and post-war estates, often with compact gardens and shared boundaries. We design gabion solutions that respect neighbouring structures while maximising space for seating and planting. If you’re near Brixton, Oval or Clapham, we’ll match the look to your property—whether that’s a clean contemporary line or a softer, natural stone feel. Our gabion walls Stockwell area clients choose are sized precisely to suit access constraints and existing levels.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes and confirm load requirements for any retaining work. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, stone-fill options and a tidy installation plan that keeps disruption low. Every build includes proper foundations, geotextile separation where needed and careful compaction for long-term stability. Homeowners trust Fine Landscaping for transparent communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Ground conditions across the London Borough of Lambeth can vary, so we assess soil, levels and water run-off before setting out. In SW9, access is often via narrow passages, so we plan deliveries and stone handling to minimise mess and delays. We also factor in parking restrictions and sensible working hours near parks such as Stockwell Park. The result is a build method that suits local property layouts and keeps the site controlled.

Costs depend on height, length, cage specification, foundations and the stone fill you choose. As a guide, small decorative gabion planters or dividers often start from around £600–£1,500. Retaining gabion walls typically range from £250–£450 per linear metre for lower walls, rising to £500–£900+ per linear metre for taller, engineered sections with extra drainage and detailing. We’ll confirm after a site survey.
Most small gabion features (planters, short dividers, seating runs) take 1–2 days once materials are on site. Retaining walls usually take 2–5 days, depending on excavation, spoil removal, access and whether we’re integrating steps, lighting or a water feature. Weather and curing time for any concrete foundations can also affect the schedule. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden gabion walls are permitted development, especially when they’re not adjacent to a highway and aren’t excessively high. However, rules can change if the wall forms a boundary, supports significant level changes, affects drainage, or if your property is in a conservation area or has other restrictions. We’ll advise during the survey and, where needed, help you check Lambeth requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gabion wall installations, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect installation, poor foundations or inadequate drainage detailing. The warranty assumes normal use and that the wall isn’t later altered, overloaded or undermined by third-party works. We also use quality cages and fixings and can advise on expected material lifespans and maintenance for your chosen stone fill.
You can choose from a wide range of stone fills, including granite, limestone, flint, recycled brick and mixed river cobbles, depending on the look you want. We can design straight runs, curved sections, stepped retaining walls, integrated seating, raised planters and privacy dividers. For a premium finish, we can add concealed lighting, timber caps or combine gabions with paving and planting. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your garden and budget.
