Stone walls transform Croydon gardens from forgettable to remarkable. Whether you're battling that notorious South London clay or creating definition in a Victorian terrace plot, properly constructed stonework stands the test of time.

Croydon's mix of period properties and newer developments presents unique landscaping challenges. Those steep gardens near Lloyd Park? Perfect candidates for terraced stone retaining walls. Boundary disputes with neighbours in those tightly-packed CR2 streets become history when a handsome stone wall clearly marks your territory. Natural stone brings permanence to properties where quick-fix fencing has failed repeatedly.
Stone walling demands precision engineering beneath its rustic appearance. Foundation depth varies with Croydon's unpredictable geology - chalk deposits near Coulsdon require different treatment than the London clay prevalent around Waddon. Drainage channels prevent water pressure building behind retaining structures. Each stone gets individually selected and positioned, creating interlocking strength that mechanically fixed alternatives can't match.
Twenty years building walls across South London means knowing exactly where to source matching stone for Edwardian properties in Selhurst. Local knowledge matters when navigating narrow access routes typical of CR7's Victorian streets.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Boundary walls generally run £180-£280 per linear metre, while retaining walls start around £350 per square metre due to additional groundwork. A typical 10-metre garden wall in CR0 might total £2,200-£3,500 including foundations.
Absolutely - from period properties in central CR0 to the leafier streets of CR2 and the Victorian terraces throughout CR7. Regular projects span South Croydon's larger plots to Selhurst's compact gardens.
Most residential walls take 5-10 working days, though larger retaining structures might need three weeks. Weather plays a bigger role than with other landscaping - mortar won't set properly in freezing conditions.
Every wall carries decade-long protection against structural failure. Stone itself lasts centuries, but we guarantee the construction integrity - foundations, pointing, and drainage systems - for ten full years.
Converting ugly blockwork to natural stone completely transforms garden aesthetics. We'll either clad existing sound structures with stone facing or demolish and rebuild properly, depending on condition and your budget.
