Sloping lawns and raised beds are common around SW2, especially near Telford Park and Christchurch Road. A well-built retaining wall holds back soil, prevents washouts and creates usable levels for patios, lawns or planting. Fine Landscaping designs and builds brick, stone, sleeper, block and gabion walls to suit your garden and budget. We also integrate drainage so the wall performs in wet weather, not just on day one.

Costs vary with height, length, access and drainage. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while brick or block retaining walls commonly range £400–£800+ per linear metre. Stone facing or engineered solutions (reinforcement, deeper foundations, complex terracing) can push higher. We’ll survey levels and provide an itemised quote including excavation, spoil removal and drainage.
Most domestic retaining walls take 2–7 working days, depending on size, materials and access. A small sleeper wall with straightforward digging can be done in a couple of days, while brick, block or stone walls with steps, coping and multiple terraces may take a week or more. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, drainage requirements, curing time for concrete, and whether we’re coordinating with paving or landscaping works.
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 your property is listed or in a conservation area. Height and location also matter, especially where safety is a concern. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can advise on Lambeth requirements. If permission or approvals are needed, we’ll help you prepare the right information.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our retaining wall installations. This covers defects arising from our construction, such as issues with structural build quality, fixings and installation-related movement (excluding damage from external causes). Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage outlets aren’t blocked by later landscaping changes. We also give care guidance to help the wall perform long term.
We build brick walls to match period homes, modern block retaining walls with rendered or faced finishes, natural stone walls for a premium look, sleeper walls for warm, contemporary terraces, and gabion walls for fast drainage and a textured style. Design options include curved runs, integrated steps, seating edges and coping stones. We’ll recommend the best choice based on height, loading, water management and how you want the garden to feel and function.
