Sloping lawns and raised borders are common around BR3, and a well-built retaining wall can turn awkward levels into usable space. We design and install brick, stone, sleeper, block and gabion walls with proper drainage so your garden stays stable in all seasons. Whether you’re close to Eden Park station or walking distance from Kelsey Park, we tailor the build to your plot and access. The result is a wall that looks right and performs for decades.
Eden Park has a mix of 1930s semis, detached homes and Edwardian properties, often with long rear gardens and changes in level. We regularly work across nearby Beckenham and West Wickham, where boundary lines, mature planting and existing patios need careful integration. Our retaining walls can create terraced seating areas, level lawns, or crisp raised planters that suit period brickwork and traditional garden layouts. Every design is scaled to the house and the garden’s proportions.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, soil behaviour and water run-off, then propose an engineered solution with clear options for materials and finishes. Drainage is built in as standard—weep holes, land drains and backfill specified to reduce pressure behind the wall. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, and we keep the site tidy and safe throughout. Homeowners choose us because we build properly, communicate clearly, and stand behind the workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, gardens can have variable soils and pockets of poor drainage, especially where levels have been altered over time. In Eden Park, access can be tight on side passages and parking may be controlled near commuter routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and mature trees, common in BR3 plots. Our retaining walls Eden Park area builds are adapted to these practical constraints from day one.

Costs vary by height, length, access and whether engineering and drainage are required. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while brick or block retaining walls commonly range from £400–£800 per linear metre. Stone and gabion walls can be £500–£1,000+ per linear metre depending on specification. Excavation, spoil removal and terracing can add to the overall budget.
Most domestic retaining walls take 2–7 days, depending on size, materials and access. A small sleeper wall or low block wall may be completed in a couple of days, while taller brickwork or stone walls with stepped footings can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, curing time for concrete, drainage installation, and whether terracing or paving works are included.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, location near a highway, and whether the wall forms part of a boundary. If your property is affected by specific constraints, or if the wall is substantial, it’s sensible to check before work starts. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you confirm details with the London Borough of Bromley where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our retaining wall installations, covering issues arising from construction defects such as inadequate footings or poor build quality. The warranty assumes the wall isn’t altered by others and that drainage outlets aren’t blocked after completion. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable. We also document the build approach so you know what has been installed and why.
We offer brick walls to match period homes, block walls with render or cladding options, natural stone for a premium look, timber sleeper walls for a warm, contemporary feel, and gabion walls for a modern, textured finish. Designs can include steps, curves, raised planters and multi-level terracing. We’ll recommend the best option based on height, loading, drainage needs, and the style of your Eden Park garden and property.
