From smart front boundaries to strong retaining walls, our stonework adds structure and character to gardens across BR3. We regularly work near Elmers End station and along routes served by the Croydon Tramlink, where access and neighbour considerations matter. Whether you want a crisp, mortared finish or a more traditional dry stone look, we tailor the build to your site. Expect clean lines, careful setting-out and a wall that suits your home.
Elmers End has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different proportions and garden layouts. We design stone walls that complement brickwork, bay fronts and period detailing without overpowering smaller plots. For homes around Beckenham, Penge and South Norwood, we often blend practical height changes with attractive feature wall sections. The result is stonework that feels like it has always belonged.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and clear recommendations on wall type, drainage and foundations. We source quality stone, build with proper footings where required, and finish with neat copings and tidy pointing on mortared work. You’ll get a written scope, realistic timescales and respectful working practices for residential streets. Local homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Bromley, gardens often sit on mixed ground and made-up areas, so we assess stability and specify the right footing depth. Many BR3 streets have tight parking and shared access, so we plan deliveries and stone storage to keep disruption down. Where gardens back towards South Norwood Country Park, we pay close attention to drainage and retaining details. We also match wall heights and finishes to local property styles and boundary norms.

Costs vary by stone type, height, access and whether the wall is retaining. As a guide, mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while dry stone can be £300–£550 per m² due to the skilled hand-laying involved. Retaining walls with drainage, reinforced footings or tricky levels can rise to £450–£800+ per m². We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small boundary walls take 2–5 days, depending on length, height and curing time for mortar. Larger projects, retaining walls or feature walls with steps, piers or copings typically run 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access near tram routes, waste removal logistics, weather, and whether we need to excavate for new footings or improve drainage. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
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. Front boundary walls are often the most sensitive, especially near pavements and sight lines. For stone walling in London Borough of Bromley, we’ll flag likely constraints, advise on practical heights, and can help you check with the council when needed before work begins.
Yes. Our stone walling is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship, giving you confidence that the wall has been built correctly. This covers issues such as structural movement caused by construction faults, poor bonding on mortared walls, or inadequate fixing of copings where specified. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, tree-root movement, flooding events, or neglect of nearby drainage. We also provide care guidance to keep your wall looking its best.
We build dry stone and mortared stone walls in flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with options for copings, piers and recessed planting pockets. Retaining walls can be designed with hidden drainage and stepped profiles to suit sloping gardens. For a contemporary look, we can use cleaner-cut sandstone with tight joints; for period homes, flint and ragstone often look spot-on. We’ll bring samples, discuss colour and texture, and recommend a design that fits your property.
