If your garden levels need taming or your boundary needs definition, our stone walling brings structure and style. We work across SE13, including homes near Hither Green station and the green edges of Mountsfield Park. Whether you want a low feature wall for planting or a robust retaining wall, we build with clean lines and proper foundations. Every wall is set out carefully so it looks right from day one.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often have compact side access and long rear gardens that benefit from terracing. We design walling that complements original brickwork, bay fronts and traditional garden proportions. For family homes upgrading outdoor space, a well-built stone wall can create safer level areas for play and entertaining. Our stone walling Hither Green area service is tailored to each plot’s layout and constraints.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and the intended use of the wall. You’ll receive clear options on dry stone versus mortared construction, plus stone types and finishes to match your home. Our team protects paths and planting, keeps the site tidy, and communicates timings throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, transparent scopes, and a 10-year warranty on our wall builds.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can vary from made ground to heavier clay, so we plan footings and drainage accordingly. Many SE13 properties have narrow side returns and limited parking, so we schedule deliveries and barrow routes to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary responsibilities and existing fencing lines, which are common around Lewisham and Lee. The result is stonework that fits the site, not a one-size approach.

Costs vary with height, length, access and stone choice. 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 laying involved. Retaining walls with drainage, engineering and deeper footings typically range from £450–£900 per m². We’ll survey your SE13 garden and provide an itemised estimate.
Small feature walls are often completed in 1–3 days, depending on foundations and coping details. Medium boundary walls commonly take 3–7 days, while retaining walls can take 1–3 weeks if there’s excavation, drainage runs, steps or terracing. Access in Victorian terraces around Hither Green station can affect handling time. Weather, curing time for mortar, and stone availability also influence the programme.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change based on height, whether the wall fronts a highway, and if your home is in a conservation area. Retaining walls may also need extra consideration if they alter ground levels near boundaries. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham. If approvals are needed, we’ll advise on drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our stone walling workmanship, covering structural defects caused by installation issues such as inadequate footings, poor bonding or drainage omissions. It also includes remedial work if movement occurs due to build faults. Normal wear, accidental impact, and extreme events outside our control aren’t covered. We’ll explain care advice for your chosen stone and provide documentation for peace of mind.
We build dry stone or mortared walls using flint, ragstone, sandstone or limestone, depending on the look you want and the wall’s job. Popular options include retaining walls with integrated steps, low feature walls for seating edges, and taller boundary walls with copings for a crisp finish. We’ll bring samples and discuss colour tones that suit Victorian and Edwardian homes. Design is guided by levels, drainage and how you use the garden.
