Those steep gardens typical of Wallington's hillside properties need proper structural support. A professionally built retaining wall transforms unusable slopes into practical, beautiful spaces.
Response within 24 hours
Wallington's undulating landscape presents unique challenges for homeowners. From the elevated gardens near Roundshaw to the sloping plots around Beddington Park, managing level changes requires engineering expertise. Local clay soil conditions and proximity to underground chalk deposits demand careful consideration when installing structural walls that'll last decades.
Proper drainage integration prevents hydrostatic pressure building behind your wall - crucial given SM6's winter rainfall patterns. Foundation depth calculations factor in both soil type and wall height, with reinforced concrete footings extending below the frost line. Materials selection ranges from natural stone complementing period properties to modern concrete blocks offering superior structural performance.
Twenty years working across Wallington means understanding which solutions suit each neighbourhood's character. Local planning considerations are second nature, particularly near conservation areas around Wallington Green.
