Gabion walls bring a crisp, architectural look while solving practical issues like sloping ground and awkward boundaries. We design and install retaining walls, dividers and raised planters that suit SW2 gardens and terraces. Many projects are close to Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road, where space and access need careful planning. The result is a robust structure that looks intentional, not improvised.
Fine Landscaping works across the Streatham Hill area, including Tulse Hill, Brixton and West Norwood. We’re used to the proportions of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, where gardens can be narrow, stepped or overlooked. Gabions are ideal for creating privacy screens, neat level changes and integrated seating without bulky brickwork. We also match stone fills to existing paving and period features for a cohesive finish.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and load requirements, then provide a clear design and specification. Installation includes proper foundations, geotextiles where needed, and careful alignment so the cages stay straight and true. We keep disruption low with organised deliveries and tidy working practices, then walk you through aftercare. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent pricing and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lambeth often sit on mixed ground with pockets of clay, so we design gabions with stable bases and sensible drainage. Access can be tight around mansion conversions and terrace rows, so we plan delivery sizes and staging to suit. Where parking is controlled near Streatham Hill Theatre and busy routes, we schedule drop-offs to minimise delays. Our detailing also respects boundary lines and neighbouring properties typical of SW2 streets.

Costs vary by height, length, stone choice and whether the wall is retaining soil. As a guide, simple decorative gabion dividers often start around £200–£350 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabions are more commonly £350–£650+ per linear metre. Add-ons such as seating caps, planters, steps or lighting will increase the budget. We’ll survey levels and provide a detailed, itemised quotation.
Most small garden gabion projects take 1–3 days, such as a short divider, planter run or seating feature. Larger retaining walls or multi-level schemes typically take 4–10 days, especially if excavation, drainage and spoil removal are required. Timescales depend on access for materials, the amount of stone fill, and whether we’re integrating lighting or water features. We confirm a programme before work starts.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change with height, proximity to highways, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. Retaining structures may also need careful consideration for safety and drainage. We’ll advise during the survey, check any relevant constraints for your address, and recommend if you should contact Lambeth or obtain written confirmation before proceeding.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall workmanship, covering installation defects such as poor alignment, inadequate base preparation or fixings that fail under normal use. The warranty is valid when the wall is used as intended and not altered by third parties. Materials are supplied to specification, and we’ll explain expected settling and natural stone variation. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
Gabions are highly flexible: we can build retaining walls, seating, planters, dividers and even frames for water features. Popular stone fills include limestone, granite, flint and recycled brick, chosen for colour and texture. We offer custom sizes, neat top finishes, and integrated lighting for steps or feature walls. We’ll bring samples or photos, match your existing materials, and design around planting and sightlines.
