A well-built retaining wall can transform awkward levels into usable terraces, steps and planting zones without compromising safety. We create retaining walls for Chelsea gardens near King’s Road and around SW3, blending structure with high-end finishes. Whether you need a discreet raised bed edge or a substantial boundary solution, we build for strength first, then aesthetics. Expect clean lines, careful detailing and long-term stability.
Chelsea properties often combine compact rear gardens with premium materials and strict expectations on finish. We regularly work with Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, where access is tight and neighbours are close. Our team plans deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption while keeping the site immaculate. If your garden sits above or below adjacent plots, we’ll propose terracing that suits the architecture and planting style.
Every project starts with a site visit to assess levels, loading, soil conditions and water movement. We design the wall build-up properly—footings, reinforcement where required, drainage and backfill—so it performs through wet winters and dry summers. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, material options and a realistic programme, with workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable engineering, tidy sites and finishes that match Chelsea standards.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means planning around controlled parking, restricted access and busy streets near Stamford Bridge. We schedule deliveries and collections to suit SW10 constraints and protect communal areas in mansion blocks. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and heavier London clay, so we tailor foundations, drainage and backfill accordingly. If your property is listed or within a conservation area, we help shape a compliant design before work begins.

Costs vary with height, access, materials and whether engineering is required. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while brick or block retaining walls are typically £400–£800+ per linear metre. Natural stone can be £700–£1,200+ per linear metre. Drainage, steps, coping stones and restricted access in SW3/SW10 can increase the budget.
Most small garden retaining walls take 2–5 days, while larger terracing schemes commonly run 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on wall length and height, curing time for concrete footings, drainage installation, and access for materials. If we’re building near boundaries, we may also need extra time for careful excavation and spoil removal. Weather and specialist stonework can extend programmes.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but rules can change if the wall is near a highway, forms part of a boundary, or significantly alters ground levels. Listed buildings and conservation areas in Chelsea may also have tighter controls. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check constraints, and recommend speaking with the council where needed. If approvals are required, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our retaining wall workmanship, covering structural integrity issues arising from installation—such as movement caused by inadequate foundations, incorrect build-up or poor drainage detailing. The warranty is valid when the wall is used as designed and not altered by third parties. We also use reputable, fit-for-purpose materials and follow best practice for backfill and water management to reduce future risk.
We build brick walls to match period façades, natural stone walls for a timeless finish, sleeper walls for warm contemporary terraces, and block walls with rendered or clad finishes. For modern landscapes and tricky drainage, gabion walls can be ideal. We’ll help you choose based on height, loading, garden style and budget, then specify coping, steps, lighting and planting details to complete the scheme.
