Twickenham gardens often need practical level changes, especially near riverside walks and mature plots. Whether you’re close to Twickenham Stadium or enjoying weekends at Marble Hill Park, a well-built retaining wall can turn awkward gradients into usable lawn, patios and planting beds. We construct brick, stone, sleeper, block and gabion walls to suit the look of your home and garden. Every build includes drainage planning to reduce water pressure and movement.
We regularly work across TW1 and TW2, including St Margarets, Whitton and towards Teddington. Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes often have long rear gardens where older walls or timber edging has started to lean. We can rebuild failing structures, add terracing for new outdoor seating areas, or integrate steps and raised beds. Our designs respect period features while improving safety and usability.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and confirm access for materials and spoil removal. You’ll receive a clear specification covering foundations, wall build-up, reinforcement where needed, and drainage details such as gravel backfill and weep vents. Our team keeps the site tidy, communicates daily progress, and finishes with clean lines and neat jointing. Fine Landscaping is based 45 minutes away, and homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling and engineered, long-lasting results.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, gardens can face variable ground conditions, mature tree roots and seasonal waterlogging. We design retaining walls with the right footing depth, reinforcement and drainage to handle these pressures. Access and parking can be tight around St Margarets and older streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and neighbour considerations in advance. Where properties sit near conservation areas, we help align materials and detailing with local character.

Costs vary by height, length, access and the level of engineering required. As a guide, sleeper walls often start around £250–£450 per linear metre, while brick or block retaining walls are commonly £450–£900 per linear metre. Stone and gabion walls can range from £600–£1,200+ per linear metre. Excavation, spoil removal, drainage, steps and coping stones will affect the final budget.
Most domestic retaining wall projects take 2–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A short sleeper or low block wall may be completed in a couple of days, while taller walls with stepped terraces, foundations, reinforcement and drainage can take a week or more. Timescales are influenced by access, weather, curing time for concrete, and whether we’re removing an existing failed wall first.
Many garden retaining walls are permitted development, but rules can change based on height, proximity to highways, boundary positions and whether the property is in a conservation area. If your wall forms part of a front boundary or significantly alters ground levels, extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise during the survey, review any constraints, and can help you prepare information for the council if an application is required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our retaining walls, covering issues such as structural failure caused by incorrect construction, poor fixing or inadequate build-up. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage outlets are not blocked or altered after installation. We also specify suitable materials for the setting, including treated sleepers and appropriate blocks or stone. If a snag arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
We build brick walls to match existing housework, crisp block walls for rendered finishes, natural stone for a premium look, sleeper walls for warm timber character, and gabion walls for modern texture and excellent drainage. We can add copings, piers, steps, integrated planters and multi-level terracing. After assessing levels and style, we’ll recommend options that suit your garden, budget and maintenance preferences, with a clear plan for drainage and stability.
