Sloping gardens and awkward level changes are common around KT3, especially near Manor Park and the routes off New Malden High Street. A well-built retaining wall turns that wasted gradient into practical terraces for patios, lawns or planting. We design walls that suit the look of your home while doing the hard work of holding back ground safely. Expect tidy lines, solid footings and drainage that prevents bulging and staining.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments means boundaries and garden layouts vary widely. We match materials and proportions to the property—crisp brickwork for period homes, natural stone for softer landscaping, or sleepers for contemporary family gardens. Where space is tight, we plan access and storage carefully to keep disruption down. If you’re in Raynes Park, Motspur Park or Worcester Park, we can advise on what works best for your plot and levels.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, assess soil, and plan drainage and loadings. We then specify the right build method—blockwork, brick, stone, gabion or sleeper—plus foundations, weep vents and backfill. Work is scheduled clearly, kept clean, and finished with neat copings and edges. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for straightforward communication, engineered builds, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the retaining walls New Malden area, we often deal with clay-heavy soils and water run-off from higher gardens, so drainage design is never an afterthought. Access can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. For retaining walls in Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we also consider boundary responsibilities and nearby structures, especially where walls sit close to fences, sheds or neighbouring patios. Our builds suit local property styles and typical garden widths.

Costs vary mainly by height, length, access and material. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while block or brick retaining walls are commonly £400–£800+ per metre. Natural stone and gabion walls can range from £500–£1,000+ per metre depending on specification. Drainage, steps, coping stones and terracing will affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after surveying levels.
Most garden retaining walls take 2–7 working days, depending on excavation, spoil removal and curing time for concrete footings. A small sleeper wall can be completed in a couple of days, while a taller engineered block/brick wall with drainage and terracing may take one to two weeks. Access, weather, underground services, and whether you’re adding steps, paths or planting beds all influence the timeline. We confirm a programme before starting.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but permission can be needed in certain situations—particularly for taller walls near highways or where the property is in a conservation area. Rules can also change if the wall alters boundary treatments or affects neighbouring land. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey, check likely thresholds, and advise if you should contact the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or submit an application. We also build to safe, compliant standards regardless.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our retaining wall workmanship, covering structural integrity when the wall is built to our specification and maintained normally. That includes correct foundations, reinforcement (where required), and drainage elements installed by our team. The warranty does not cover damage caused by third-party alterations, impact, severe ground movement beyond reasonable expectations, or blocked drains due to neglect. You’ll receive care guidance and photos of key stages for your records.
We build brick walls, stone walls, sleeper walls, block walls and gabion walls, with options for copings, piers, steps and integrated planters. Brick can be matched to existing housework, while stone gives a softer, premium finish. Sleepers suit contemporary gardens and quick installs, and gabions work well for drainage-heavy sites. We’ll recommend the best design based on height, loading, style, and budget, then provide clear drawings and material samples where helpful.
