Westminster gardens often need hard-working design that looks refined. Our gabion walls bring a crisp architectural feel while solving level changes, creating seating, or framing planting. Whether you’re near Victoria or a short walk from Westminster Abbey, we tailor the build to your space and privacy needs. Stone-filled baskets also pair beautifully with paving and contemporary lighting.
In the Westminster area, we regularly work with Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments where space is limited and access is tight. Gabions are ideal for courtyards and roof terraces because they’re modular, stable and visually lighter than solid masonry. We can create retaining walls, raised planters and neat dividers that respect period detailing while adding a modern edge. Finishes are chosen to complement brickwork, stone façades and metal balustrades.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and load requirements, then propose a clear design and specification. Your gabion wall is built with quality baskets, appropriate foundations and carefully graded stone fill for a premium finish. We keep disruption low, plan deliveries, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by warranty.
The City of Westminster brings practical challenges: controlled parking, narrow mews access and strict delivery windows around SW1. We plan logistics, protect communal areas, and keep noise and dust managed for neighbours and building managers. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and older foundations, so we assess stability and drainage before setting out. Our gabion walls in City of Westminster are designed to suit both heritage façades and modern developments.

Costs in Westminster vary with height, length, access and the stone you choose. As a guide, smaller decorative gabion features often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabion walls are commonly £450–£900+ per linear metre. Lighting, bespoke sizes, premium stone fills and difficult SW1 access can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site survey.
Most projects in the Westminster area take 1–3 days for a small divider, planter or seating run, and 3–7 days for larger retaining work. Timescales depend on excavation, foundations, drainage, basket size, and the volume of stone fill. Access restrictions, delivery booking slots and working hours in apartment blocks can also affect duration. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many garden walls and landscape features are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, listed buildings and conservation areas—common considerations in the City of Westminster. If your property is near key routes or has heritage status, extra checks may apply. We’ll advise on likely requirements, review any management company rules for mansion flats, and can support drawings/specs for applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our gabion wall installations, covering defects arising from installation such as poor alignment, inadequate fixing and foundation-related workmanship issues. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and we use appropriate basket gauges and stone grading for durability. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations or extreme events beyond reasonable design assumptions. Care guidance is provided on completion.
Gabions are highly customisable: choose from various stone fills such as limestone, granite, flint, Yorkstone offcuts or mixed recycled aggregates, depending on the look you want. We can build retaining walls, seating, planters, water-feature surrounds and privacy dividers, with custom basket sizes to suit tight Westminster plots. Optional integrated lighting adds a premium finish. We’ll bring samples and recommend combinations that complement your paving and façade.
