Stone walls transform Bexley gardens with timeless character that suits both Victorian terraces and modern estates. Whether you're tackling that sloping plot near Danson Park or creating boundaries for a Sidcup-side property, natural stone brings lasting elegance.

Bexley's mixture of housing eras calls for thoughtful stonework that respects each property's character. From compact terraced gardens requiring clever retaining solutions to spacious plots around Crayford where grand entrance walls make perfect sense, stone adapts brilliantly. Those challenging slopes common throughout DA5 become features rather than problems when proper walling techniques meet quality materials.
Building stone walls demands understanding local ground conditions - particularly Bexley's clay-heavy soil that shifts seasonally. Foundation depth varies between simple boundary walls and structural retaining projects holding back tonnes of earth. Material selection matters too: Kentish ragstone harmonises with older properties whilst contemporary homes might suit crisp limestone or warm sandstone. Each wall gets proper drainage channels preventing water damage during our notoriously wet winters.
Twenty years constructing walls across Bexleyheath means knowing which stone suppliers deliver consistent quality. Local knowledge counts when navigating planning considerations for conservation areas or matching existing neighbourhood aesthetics.

Boundary walls generally range £180-300 per linear metre depending on height and stone choice. Retaining walls cost more due to engineering requirements - expect £400-600 per square metre. Small garden features like raised beds start around £800.
Absolutely - from properties backing onto Foots Cray Meadows through to homes near Bexley Village. Regular work takes us across Sidcup borders and into central Bexleyheath too.
Simple boundary walls typically complete within 5-8 days. Larger retaining structures or extensive perimeter walling might stretch to 3-4 weeks, weather permitting.
Every wall carries decade-long structural coverage protecting against settlement or failure. This includes annual inspections ensuring mortar joints remain sound and drainage functions correctly - particularly important given Bexley's ground movement tendencies.
Yes, stone cladding breathes new life into tired brickwork. The process involves fixing stone slips or panels using specialist adhesives and mechanical fixings. It's particularly effective for 1960s properties common around Crayford wanting a premium finish.
