Earl’s Court gardens often need smart boundaries, level changes managed, and privacy without losing character. We design and build dry stone and mortared stone walls that complement nearby Victorian architecture and garden square styles. Whether you’re close to Earl’s Court tube station or near Philbeach Gardens, we tailor proportions, copings and finishes to your setting. Work is planned for SW5 access and delivered with minimal disruption.
Our team regularly works across Kensington, West Brompton and Fulham, so we’re familiar with the mix of Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and compact rear gardens. Many properties benefit from retaining walls to create usable terraces, or feature walls to frame planting and seating areas. We match stone colour and texture to brickwork, paving and metal railings common in the area. If you’re upgrading a shared garden or a private courtyard, we’ll propose practical, neighbour-friendly solutions.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear recommendation on wall type: dry stone for natural character, mortared stone for crisp lines and strength. Foundations, drainage and backfill are specified to reduce movement and staining, especially on retaining builds. You’ll receive a written scope, staged programme and tidy handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, quality stone selection and a 10-year warranty.
Stone walling earl's court area projects often involve narrow side access, controlled parking and shared boundaries typical of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We plan deliveries, spoil removal and working hours to suit busy streets around the former Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre site. Ground conditions vary, so we specify suitable footings and drainage for longevity. Finishes are chosen to complement period façades and garden square layouts.

Costs vary with stone choice, wall type and access. As a guide, dry stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while mortared stonework is typically £350–£650 per m². Retaining walls can be higher due to excavation, drainage and reinforced footings, commonly £500–£900 per m². Tight SW5 access, waste removal and coping details can also affect the final figure.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 working days, while larger retaining walls or multi-level terracing can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for mortar, drainage installation and how easy it is to bring materials through the property. Weather can slow progress, particularly for mortar work. We provide a realistic programme after surveying levels and access.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location (especially front boundaries) and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. In RBKC, restrictions are more common around period properties and garden squares. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you confirm with the council before work starts. Where needed, we build to approved drawings and conditions.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our stone walling workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by incorrect construction, failed mortar joints (where applicable) and defects in installation of footings and drainage. Normal wear, accidental impact damage and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We also give care guidance to reduce staining and keep joints, copings and drainage performing well.
We build with flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, and can recommend blends that suit Earl’s Court’s Victorian character. Choose dry stone for a natural, textured look, or mortared stone for sharper lines and cleaner detailing. Popular options include retaining walls with weep vents, feature walls with recessed lighting, and copings in sawn stone for a refined finish. We’ll bring samples and propose proportions that work with your garden layout.
