Wimbledon's hillside properties often present unique landscaping challenges that traditional brick walls can't always solve economically. Gabion structures offer remarkable flexibility - whether you're terracing a Victorian villa's garden in the Village or creating usable space behind a semi-detached home near Raynes Park station. The permeable nature of these walls prevents the water pressure build-up that frequently damages solid retaining structures on London clay.
Each gabion installation begins with careful ground assessment and precise cage positioning to handle the specific soil conditions found across SW19 and SW20. Local limestone or recycled concrete fills the galvanised steel mesh frames, creating walls that actually strengthen over time as materials settle and interlock. Drainage considerations take priority, particularly where properties border Wimbledon Common's water table. Height calculations account for both structural requirements and planning regulations, ensuring your new terracing meets all local authority guidelines.
Having completed over 200 gabion projects between South Wimbledon and Wimbledon Village since 2015, we've mastered the nuances of working with period properties and modern developments alike. Our installation teams understand the access constraints of narrow Victorian passages and the importance of protecting established gardens during construction.

Residential gabion walls in SW19/SW20 generally range from £180-280 per square metre installed, depending on height, access difficulty, and stone selection. A typical 15-metre retaining wall at 1.5m height costs between £4,000-6,500 complete.
Yes, we install gabion walls across all Wimbledon postcodes including SW19 and SW20, from Wimbledon Village conservation areas to modern developments in Raynes Park and South Wimbledon.
