From garden boundaries near Lordship Lane to smart retaining walls by Peckham Rye, our stonework adds definition and value. We build feature walls, raised beds and robust retaining walls that cope with London weather and busy family gardens. Every wall is set out carefully for clean lines, safe levels and a finish that looks right for SE22. Expect tidy workmanship and a result that feels like it has always belonged.
East Dulwich has plenty of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with narrow side access and compact rear gardens. We design stone walling to complement brick façades, original paving and traditional planting schemes. Whether you want a crisp mortared wall for a townhouse garden or a softer dry-stone look for a wildlife-friendly edge, we tailor the build to the property. Our stone walling East Dulwich area service is planned around access, neighbours and day-to-day use of the space.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and ground conditions, then provide a clear written scope and material options. Foundations, footings, weep holes and backfill are specified properly—especially for retaining walls. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful protection of paths and planting. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, neat finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We regularly deliver stone walling in London Borough of Southwark, where gardens can have mixed made ground and tricky level changes. In SE22, access is often via side returns, so we plan materials, cutting and waste removal to suit tight routes. Parking and loading near Lordship Lane can be restricted at peak times, so deliveries are timed to keep the job moving. We also align designs with the character of nearby Dulwich Village and surrounding period streets.

Costs vary by height, access, stone type and whether it’s dry stone or mortared. As a guide, small feature walls often start around £1,200–£2,500. Retaining walls with proper footings and drainage are commonly £250–£450 per m², while premium flint or hand-selected ragstone can be higher. We’ll confirm a realistic range after checking levels, foundations and site access in SE22.
Most small garden walls take 2–5 working days, depending on length, height and detailing such as copings, piers or steps. Retaining walls can take 1–2 weeks because of excavation, foundations, drainage and curing time for mortared work. Access constraints, weather, and stone cutting requirements also affect programme. We provide a schedule before starting and keep you updated if anything changes.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, and whether your home is listed or in a conservation area. Southwark may also have guidance on front boundary treatments and visibility splays. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey, flag any risks, and can help you check requirements before work begins so you don’t run into issues later.

Warranty details are supplied in writing with your quote.
We build dry stone walls for a natural, textured look and mortared walls for crisp lines and formal finishes. Popular materials include flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with coping options such as saddlebacks, flat caps or reclaimed stone. For sloped gardens we can integrate retaining walls, steps and raised beds. We’ll show samples, discuss colour and scale, then design a wall that suits your house and planting.
