Stone-filled gabion structures have become the go-to solution for Morden's sloping gardens and boundary challenges. These wire mesh cages packed with natural stone blend engineering strength with raw aesthetic appeal.

Victorian terraces around Morden Park often struggle with awkward level changes between properties. Gabion walls solve this brilliantly, creating robust retaining structures that actually improve with age. The mesh framework allows drainage whilst the stone filling provides mass and stability. Unlike rendered block walls that crack and stain, gabions weather beautifully into their surroundings.
Construction begins by excavating a shallow foundation trench, typically 300-400mm deep depending on wall height. Galvanised steel mesh panels interlock to form the cage structure, then local aggregates or imported stone fill the voids. Internal bracing wires maintain shape during filling. The beauty lies in flexibility - curves, steps and integrated seating emerge naturally from this modular system.
Twenty years handling SM4's London clay has taught us which stone combinations work best against Morden's wet winters. Local projects from St Helier to Lower Morden showcase our understanding of proper drainage integration behind retaining structures.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most residential gabion projects in SM4 range between £180-£280 per square metre of wall face. A typical 15-metre boundary wall at 1.2m height usually costs £3,200-£5,000 including groundwork and stone supply.
Yes, we construct gabion walls across all SM4 postcodes, from the conservation areas near Morden Hall Park to modern developments around St Helier station.
Typical domestic installations take 5-8 working days from breaking ground to final stone placement. Larger retaining walls or complex designs might extend to two weeks.
Every gabion structure carries our decade-long guarantee covering mesh integrity and structural stability. The galvanised cages resist corrosion for 50+ years in normal conditions.
Absolutely - properly engineered gabions handle significant loads. We calculate specific requirements based on retained height and surcharge weight, often incorporating geotextile reinforcement for driveway applications.
