From riverside plots near Marble Hill Park to compact gardens around St Margarets, gabions are a smart way to add usable levels and definition. We design and build gabion walls that work as retaining walls, raised planters, seating and clean garden dividers. The look is contemporary but can be softened with planting and warm-toned stone fills. If you want a feature that feels substantial without heavy brickwork, gabions are ideal.
Twickenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes often have long rear gardens, changes in level, or narrow side access. We tailor basket depths and heights to suit these constraints, keeping the finished wall proportionate to period architecture. For gardens near TW1 and TW2, we also consider how the wall will sit alongside patios, steps and lawn edges. The result is a practical structure that still looks like part of the original landscape.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and load requirements, then provide a clear design and specification for the baskets, stone fill and any lighting. Installation includes proper ground preparation, a stable sub-base and tidy detailing at corners and returns. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and straightforward communication. Every gabion installation is backed by our written 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames means planning for varied access, controlled parking and busy match-day traffic near Twickenham Stadium. We schedule deliveries sensibly and use manageable basket sizes where side passages are tight. Local gardens can have mixed ground and high water tables closer to the Thames, so we include drainage details and stable bases as standard. Our designs suit everything from formal period plots to practical family gardens in Whitton and Teddington.

Costs vary with height, basket depth, stone type and whether the wall is retaining soil. As a guide, small decorative gabion features or planters often start around £400–£900. Seating walls and dividers commonly fall between £900–£2,500. Structural retaining gabion walls are usually £250–£450 per linear metre for typical heights, rising with engineering needs, access and lighting.
Most gabion wall projects take 1–3 days for a planter, divider or short seating run, including ground preparation and stone fill. Larger retaining walls typically take 3–7 days depending on length, height and whether excavation is required. Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, weather, and any extras such as steps, integrated lighting or matching paving works.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, but rules can change based on height, location (especially near highways), and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. Parts of Twickenham include heritage settings near places like Strawberry Hill House, so it’s worth checking. We advise on likely requirements and can help you confirm details with the council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall workmanship, covering installation defects such as poor base preparation, movement caused by incorrect build-up, and fixing issues. The warranty applies when the wall is used as designed and not altered by third parties. We also use quality baskets and fixings suited to UK conditions, and we’ll explain maintenance steps to keep the wall looking its best.
Gabions are highly customisable: we can build retaining walls, seating, planters, water-feature surrounds and privacy dividers in custom sizes. Popular stone fills include granite, limestone, flint, recycled brick and mixed river cobbles for a softer look. We can add timber or stone capping for seating comfort and integrate low-voltage lighting for steps and edges. We’ll recommend options that suit your house style and garden layout.
