West Dulwich gardens often need practical ways to manage slopes, boundaries and usable space. Our gabion walls suit everything from tidy dividers to substantial retaining walls near Belair Park and around SE21. They look contemporary yet sit comfortably alongside mature planting and period brickwork. We can also integrate planters, seating and subtle lighting for evening use.
Homes in West Dulwich include Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions, where outdoor space is valuable and layouts can be tight. We design gabion features to complement traditional architecture while delivering modern performance. Whether you’re improving a rear garden off Dulwich Village or creating a robust edge for a raised terrace, we match proportions and finishes to the property. The result is a structure that feels intentional, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear design proposal, then handle groundworks, drainage and installation with care. You’ll get transparent options on basket sizes, stone fills and add-ons such as water features or lighting. Our team protects existing paving and planting, keeps the site tidy, and communicates throughout. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, premium materials and a finish that lasts.
Access in SE21 can mean narrow gates, stepped levels and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and lifting accordingly. Soil conditions vary locally, and we factor in drainage and stable sub-bases to prevent movement over time. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party wall sensitivities common with period homes. For projects near West Dulwich station or Dulwich Wood, we keep disruption minimal and work neatly around established trees and planting.

Most domestic gabion wall installations take 1–3 days for smaller dividers, planters or seating features.

Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, stone delivery, and whether we’re integrating lighting or water features. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and design sign-off.
