Camberwell’s mix of Georgian streets and creative spaces deserves landscaping with real craft. We design and build dry stone and mortared stone walls that suit gardens near Camberwell Green and homes around SE5. Whether you need a smart boundary, a raised bed edge, or a structural retaining wall, we tailor the stone and finish to your property. Expect clean lines, tight joints and a wall that looks better with age.
Local homes range from Georgian townhouses to Victorian terraces, plus newer apartments around Denmark Hill. We match wall proportions, coping details and stone colour to existing brickwork and garden levels. For compact rear gardens, we plan for access routes, storage and minimal disruption. If you’re updating a courtyard or creating a layered planting scheme, stonework adds structure without feeling heavy.
Our process starts with a site visit, level checks and a clear specification for materials, foundations and drainage. We source quality flint, ragstone, sandstone or limestone and build to sound structural standards, especially for retaining walls. You’ll receive a tidy worksite, staged updates and a finish that’s easy to maintain. Many clients choose us for stone walling Camberwell area projects because we’re reliable, local and detail-led.
In the London Borough of Southwark, gardens often have level changes and mixed ground conditions, so we prioritise stable footings and effective drainage. Parking and access can be restricted near Denmark Hill station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider neighbouring boundaries and party wall sensitivities common to terraces. The result is stone walling in London Borough of Southwark that’s practical, compliant and visually in keeping.

Costs vary by stone type, wall height, foundations and access. As a guide, mortared stone walls often start around £250–£450 per m², while dry stone can be £300–£550 per m² due to the skilled hand placement. Retaining walls with drainage, reinforcement or deeper footings may be £450–£800+ per m². We’ll survey your SE5 garden and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days, depending on length, height and whether we’re using dry stone or mortar. Larger retaining walls typically take 1–3 weeks, especially if excavation, drainage, steps or rebuilds are involved. Access in Camberwell terraces, curing time for mortars, and delivery scheduling can also affect timelines. We’ll confirm a programme after the site visit and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. In parts of Camberwell, those constraints can apply to boundary walls visible from the street. We’ll advise on typical limits, check any relevant Southwark guidance, and can work with your architect or planner if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our stone walling workmanship. This covers issues caused by installation, such as structural movement from inadequate footings, poor bonding, or faulty pointing—provided the wall hasn’t been altered and drainage isn’t blocked by later landscaping. Materials are sourced from reputable suppliers and installed to specification. We’ll also explain simple aftercare to keep your wall looking sharp for years.
We build dry stone or mortared walls using flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with options for copings, piers, recessed joints or flush pointing. Retaining walls can include integrated steps, planters and seating edges. For feature walls, we can mix textures or use coursed stone for a refined look. We’ll help you choose a style that suits your home’s architecture and the garden’s levels, light and planting.
