Sloping lawns, raised patios and awkward level changes are common around Shepherd's Bush Green and White City, especially where gardens have been altered over time. Our retaining walls create usable terraces for seating, planting and pathways without compromising safety. We build in brick, stone, sleepers, blocks or gabions to suit the look of your home. Every wall is designed with drainage so water pressure doesn’t damage the structure.
In the Shepherd's Bush area you’ll find Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and newer apartment blocks, each with different boundary lines and access constraints. We regularly work on compact rear gardens where materials must be carried through side returns or managed via timed deliveries. Our designs complement period brickwork as well as contemporary paving schemes. If you’re near Westfield London or W12 streets with controlled parking, we plan logistics to keep disruption low.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, soil conditions and load requirements, then propose a clear design and build specification. Our team installs proper footings, reinforcement where needed, and drainage layers to prevent bulging and cracking. You get tidy workmanship, clear communication and a documented 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for retaining walls in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham because we build for longevity, not quick fixes.
Gardens in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham often have made-up ground, old rubble layers and tight access routes. We adapt foundations and drainage to suit variable soils and prevent water build-up behind the wall. Parking and delivery planning matters around W12, so we schedule drops and waste removal to avoid delays. Where properties are close together, we work cleanly and consider neighbour boundaries from day one.

Costs vary by height, access, drainage needs and finish. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while block or brick retaining walls typically range from £350–£700 per linear metre. Stone and gabion walls can be £450–£900+ per linear metre depending on materials. Excavation, waste removal, steps and terracing will affect the final budget.
Most small garden retaining walls take 2–5 working days, including excavation, foundations and drainage. Larger terracing schemes or multiple levels usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on wall height, curing time for concrete, access through the property, and whether we’re integrating steps, lighting or paving. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated if weather affects progress.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but rules can change if the wall is near a highway, forms part of a front boundary, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Height and location matter, and drainage must not affect neighbouring land. We’ll flag potential planning or party wall considerations during the survey and can help you check requirements with the council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our retaining wall construction, covering workmanship and structural integrity when the wall is used as intended. This includes issues such as movement caused by incorrect installation, inadequate footings or poor drainage detailing. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and we document the build specification. Damage from third-party alterations, impact, or extreme events outside normal conditions isn’t covered.
We build brick walls to match Victorian terraces, crisp block walls for rendered finishes, natural stone for a premium look, sleeper walls for warm timber character, and gabion walls for a modern, textured edge. We can add steps, copings, seating edges and integrated planters, plus terracing for multi-level gardens. We’ll recommend options based on height, loading, drainage and the style of your Shepherd's Bush property.
