Battersea's mix of period properties and new developments creates unique landscaping puzzles. Whether you're dealing with a narrow plot near Clapham Junction station or managing the gradient on those coveted riverside properties, retaining structures become essential. Local clay soils and proximity to the Thames mean drainage considerations shape every design decision.
Modern gabion walls suit contemporary Nine Elms apartments perfectly, whilst traditional brick matches the character homes around Battersea Park. Structural calculations account for London clay's seasonal movement patterns. Integrated planting pockets soften hard edges, creating vertical gardens that thrive in SW11's microclimate. Each project begins with thorough site analysis, considering both immediate needs and long-term soil behaviour.
Twenty years navigating Battersea's planning requirements gives us insight others lack. Every wall reflects understanding of local architecture, from Edwardian villas to riverside penthouses.

Basic timber sleeper walls start around £180 per square metre, whilst engineered stone systems range £350-£600. That tricky corner plot near Battersea Bridge might need £8,000-£15,000 for complete retention and drainage.
Absolutely - from Queenstown Road to Lavender Hill, including Chelsea borders and throughout Nine Elms regeneration zone. SW11 remains our core territory where we know every planning quirk.
Smaller garden walls typically complete within 8-12 days. Major structural projects involving foundations and drainage might stretch to 4-5 weeks, especially during wet periods.
All structural walls carry decade-long protection covering materials and installation. Annual check-ups ensure drainage remains effective and identify any settlement issues before they develop.
Definitely - integrated LED strips create stunning evening ambience, whilst cascade features turn functional walls into focal points. Pre-planning cable routes and pump housing ensures seamless installation without compromising structural integrity.
