Whether you’re redefining boundaries or creating new levels, we build garden walls that look right and perform properly. Around Balham station and along Bedford Hill, many gardens need clear separation, better screening, or stronger edges to planting beds. We deliver brick walls, stone walls, rendered finishes and discreet repairs with a premium, tidy finish. Expect careful setting-out, solid foundations and crisp detailing.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with narrow side access and mature gardens that need considerate working. In the garden walls Balham area, we regularly match existing brick tones, coping styles and pointing so new work blends with period features. For sloping plots near Nightingale or Clapham South, retaining walls are designed to manage levels without cracking or bulging. We also advise on height, privacy and how to keep the garden feeling open.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss the look you want, then provide a clear written quotation. Our team protects paving and planting, keeps the site organised, and communicates daily on progress. Every wall is built with correct footings, drainage where needed, and weather-appropriate materials. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying builds.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, access and parking can be the biggest practical challenges, especially near Balham High Road and SW12 streets with controlled bays. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, so we size footings to suit and add drainage behind retaining walls where levels change. Our finishes are chosen to complement local brickwork and the character of Balham Hill properties.

For most projects, garden walls typically cost £150–£400 per metre in Balham, depending on height, foundations, access and the finish. Small repairs or short runs can start around £1,500, while longer boundary walls or retaining walls commonly fall between £3,000–£6,000. Brickwork is often the most cost-effective, while stone, render systems, piers and copings can increase the budget.
Most garden wall builds take 2–5 days, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Timeframes depend on wall length and height, whether we’re excavating for deeper footings, and if the wall is retaining soil (which needs drainage and extra structure). Brick and rendered walls may also require curing time between stages. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring and checking site constraints.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on wall height, whether it faces a highway, and if the property is listed or in a conservation area. In Wandsworth, there may also be requirements around visibility splays near driveways or corner plots. We’ll flag any likely planning considerations during the survey and can help you check guidance before work starts.
