Banstead's mix of period properties and modern developments creates unique walling challenges. From matching existing flintwork on Edwardian homes to installing contemporary dry-stone features in new builds near Nork, each project demands careful material selection. The area's clay-heavy soil and occasional chalk seams mean proper foundation work becomes essential, particularly on those sloping sites common throughout SM7.
Building stone walls here involves more than stacking rocks. Initial ground assessment determines foundation depth - crucial given Banstead's variable geology. Material sourcing focuses on complementing local architecture, whether that's matching the warm sandstone prevalent in older properties or selecting modern alternatives that weather gracefully. Installation progresses systematically: excavation, concrete footings where necessary, careful stone placement with proper drainage gaps, and finishing touches that blend seamlessly with existing landscaping.
Twenty years working across Banstead's diverse properties brings invaluable local knowledge. Understanding which stone weathers best in our specific microclimate, knowing trusted quarries that supply materials matching local geology - these details matter when you're investing in permanent landscape features.

Basic retaining walls start around £180-220 per square metre, while decorative dry-stone boundaries typically range £250-350. Complex curved designs or premium materials like York stone can reach £400-500 per square metre, depending on site access and foundation requirements.
Absolutely - from the grand houses near Banstead Common to newer developments around Tadworth, we've built walls across every corner of SM7. Recent projects include garden terracing near the station and boundary walls along those tricky sloping plots towards Epsom Downs.
Most residential walls complete within 5-10 working days. Smaller decorative features might finish in 2-3 days, whilst extensive retaining systems or complicated curved designs could extend to 3-4 weeks, especially if significant groundwork's involved.
Every wall carries decade-long structural coverage, protecting against settlement or movement issues. This comprehensive guarantee reflects confidence in both craftsmanship and the thorough ground preparation that underpins each build.
Retaining walls excel at creating level areas from slopes - particularly useful given Banstead's undulating terrain. Strategic placement transforms unusable banks into terraced planting areas or level lawns, maximising garden potential whilst adding substantial property value through improved functionality.
