Gabion walls bring a contemporary, architectural look while solving practical level changes and boundary needs. In Wimbledon Village, they work beautifully for sloping plots near Wimbledon Common and for compact courtyards off Wimbledon Village High Street. We design each wall to sit comfortably alongside planting, paving and existing brickwork. The result is a robust feature that looks intentional, not improvised.
Local gardens here often belong to large detached houses, Georgian properties and luxury apartments, where finishes and detailing matter. We regularly build gabion features that complement period façades while adding modern function—think discreet retaining walls, raised planters and garden dividers. For properties around Southfields and Putney Heath, we also factor in privacy, overlooking and usable entertaining space. Every scheme is scaled to the setting, not a one-size solution.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear specification and itemised quote. Our builds use quality cages, correct foundations and carefully graded stone fills for a clean face and long-term stability. We keep disruption low with tidy working practices and sensible scheduling, especially where parking and deliveries are limited. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, clear communication and dependable aftercare.
SW19 gardens often combine mature trees, mixed soil and varied levels, so we design gabions with proper drainage and stable bases. Access can be restricted on narrower roads near Cannizaro Park, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and sightlines common to larger plots and luxury apartment gardens. If any council constraints apply in the London Borough of Merton, we’ll flag them early and adjust the design accordingly.

Costs vary with height, length, stone choice and whether the wall is retaining soil. As a guide, smaller decorative features and planters often start from around £250–£450 per linear metre, while engineered retaining gabions commonly range from £450–£900+ per linear metre. Integrated seating, lighting, steps or complex groundworks will increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most residential gabion projects take 1–4 days, depending on excavation, foundations and the amount of stone fill. A simple planter or divider can be completed in a day, while retaining walls with drainage, steps or lighting typically take longer. Access, spoil removal, weather and delivery timing can also affect the programme. We confirm a realistic schedule once levels and logistics are assessed on site.
Many garden walls and landscaping works are permitted development, especially when they sit within the rear garden and don’t exceed typical height limits. However, rules can change if the wall fronts a highway, affects visibility, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Merton before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our gabion wall installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect base preparation, poor assembly or inadequate drainage detailing. The warranty assumes normal use and that the wall isn’t altered or overloaded after completion. We also use reputable materials and install to manufacturer guidance. If any snagging is identified, we respond quickly and put it right.
Gabions are highly flexible: you can choose from limestone, granite, flint, recycled concrete, or mixed aggregates for different textures and colours. We can build retaining walls, seating, raised planters, dividers and even water-feature surrounds, with optional integrated lighting. Cage sizes and stone grading are selected to achieve a neat, consistent face. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your paving, brickwork and planting style.
