Response within 24 hours
Chelsea gardens demand craftsmanship that complements their architecture and tight footprints. We design and build retaining walls, boundary walls and feature walls that sit comfortably alongside King’s Road terraces and the quieter streets near Chelsea Physic Garden. Whether you want a crisp mortared finish or a more natural dry-stone look, we tailor every course and coping stone. Work is planned to minimise disruption in SW3 and SW10.
Our team understands the expectations that come with Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, where detailing matters as much as strength. We match stone colour, texture and jointing to existing brickwork, paving and railings. For mews homes and courtyard gardens, we prioritise slim profiles and clean lines without sacrificing stability. If you’re upgrading an older garden wall, we can rebuild sympathetically while improving drainage and footings.
We start with a site visit, levels survey and clear recommendations on structure, drainage and finishes. You’ll receive a written scope, material options and a schedule that accounts for access, deliveries and neighbour considerations. Our builds follow best practice for foundations, weep vents and retaining pressure, with tidy working throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means restricted parking, timed deliveries and careful waste removal. Chelsea sites can have limited access via mews, plus sensitive boundaries shared with neighbours. We plan logistics, protect surfaces, and keep noise and dust controlled. Ground conditions and existing basement works can affect foundations, so we assess levels, drainage routes and loading before building.

Costs vary with stone type, wall height, access and whether it’s retaining. As a guide, mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while premium stone and detailed copings can reach £500–£800+ per m². Retaining walls with engineering, drainage and deeper footings typically sit higher. We’ll survey your SW3/SW10 site and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 days, while larger boundary or retaining walls commonly take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on wall length and height, foundation depth, curing time for mortar, and whether we’re rebuilding an existing wall. Access in Chelsea mews and delivery constraints can also affect scheduling. After a site visit, we’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change for front boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas and walls next to highways. Height limits and visibility at junctions may also apply. In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we recommend checking early if your property is listed or near protected streetscapes. We can advise on typical requirements and, where needed, help you prepare information for approval.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our stone wall builds, covering issues such as structural failure caused by installation defects. This includes correct foundations, stability, and appropriate drainage for retaining walls when specified in the design. Natural weathering and minor hairline mortar shrinkage can occur and aren’t usually defects, but we’ll always advise on maintenance. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing before work starts.
We offer dry stone and mortared stone walling in flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with coping options such as saddlebacks, flat caps or reclaimed stone. For modern courtyards, clean-cut limestone with tight joints is popular; for period homes, ragstone or flint can look more established. We’ll help you choose based on colour, texture, durability, and how it pairs with paving and planting. Samples and reference photos are available.
