From boundary walls near Blackheath Common to discreet garden terraces around Blackheath Village, well-built stonework adds structure and value. Fine Landscaping designs and constructs dry stone and mortared stone walls with crisp lines and careful detailing. Whether you need a retaining wall to manage levels or a feature wall to frame planting, we tailor the build to your site. We work across SE3 and nearby Greenwich and Lee.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often call for materials that look established rather than newly installed. We regularly match stone tones to existing brickwork, railings and traditional paving. For clients wanting a heritage feel, flint and ragstone can sit beautifully alongside older façades and garden paths. If you prefer a cleaner contemporary finish, sawn sandstone or limestone creates sharp edges and consistent coursing.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and any loading on the wall, then we provide a clear specification for foundations, stone type and finish. We source quality flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, and build with correct footings, weep holes and reinforcement where needed. Work areas are kept tidy, with careful protection of lawns and paths, and we coordinate waste removal. Homeowners choose our stone walling Blackheath area service for dependable scheduling and a finish that stays true over time.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham means we plan around controlled parking zones, narrow side access and shared boundaries. Blackheath plots can include sloping gardens and mature tree roots, so we adjust foundations and drainage to protect surrounding ground. We also consider sightlines to period façades and boundary heights to keep the wall in proportion. Where required, we help you align with local expectations for materials and finishes.

Costs vary by height, access, stone type and whether the wall is retaining. As a guide, small feature walls often start around £180–£300 per m², while mortared stone boundary walls commonly fall between £250–£450 per m². Retaining walls with deeper foundations, drainage and reinforcement can be £350–£650+ per m². We’ll survey your SE3 site and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
A simple feature wall may take 2–4 days, while a longer boundary wall typically takes 1–2 weeks depending on length and detailing. Retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks because of excavation, footings, drainage and curing time for mortar. Timescales are affected by access through the property, waste removal logistics, weather, and whether you’re choosing hand-selected stone such as flint or ragstone.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, whether the wall borders a highway, and if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Blackheath has heritage-sensitive streets, so it’s worth checking early. We’ll flag likely constraints, advise on typical height limits, and help you confirm requirements with the relevant council before work begins, especially for front boundary walls and gates.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our stone walling workmanship, covering structural integrity issues caused by installation defects, such as movement from inadequate foundations or incorrect mortar use. The warranty does not cover accidental impact damage, ground movement from external factors (for example, major tree root changes), or normal weathering of natural stone. We also explain maintenance steps—like checking drainage outlets—to help your wall perform for decades.
We build dry stone walls for a traditional, breathable look, and mortared walls for crisp lines and higher resistance to movement. Popular choices include flint for character, ragstone for a local heritage feel, and sandstone or limestone for a cleaner, more uniform finish. We can add copings, piers, steps, seating edges and planting pockets. We’ll bring samples, discuss proportions and colour, and design to suit your garden and property style.
