Sloping gardens and raised beds are common around SE12, and a well-built retaining wall can transform how you use the space. Whether you’re near Lee Green crossroads or walking distance to Manor House Gardens, we design walls that control ground pressure and keep planting areas tidy. Our team builds everything from neat brickwork to robust stone and block systems. The result is a garden that feels level, usable and easy to maintain.
Lee Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have narrow side access and long rear gardens, so planning deliveries and spoil removal matters. We regularly work on properties between Hither Green and Grove Park where boundary lines, existing steps and mature trees affect wall design. We match materials to the style of the house and garden, keeping finishes crisp and consistent. If you’re updating patios, lawns or pathways at the same time, we can integrate the levels seamlessly.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, soil conditions and water flow, then recommend the right wall type and drainage approach. Every build includes proper foundations, backfill, and drainage details to reduce hydrostatic pressure and movement. You’ll get clear specifications, tidy working practices, and a schedule you can rely on. Local homeowners choose us for engineering-led workmanship, transparent communication, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

Costs vary with height, length, access, and the wall system. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £180–£300 per linear metre, while brick or block retaining walls are typically £250–£450+ per linear metre. Stone and gabion walls can range from £300–£600+ per linear metre. Drainage, excavation, waste removal and terracing can add to the overall budget.
Most domestic retaining walls take 2–7 days, depending on size, materials and site access. A short sleeper wall may be completed in a couple of days, while brick, stone or stepped terracing can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, curing time for concrete, drainage installation and whether we’re also rebuilding steps, patios or fencing alongside the wall.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, proximity to highways, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area.
