Well-built stonework transforms a garden boundary and can solve level changes without looking heavy. We design and construct retaining walls and feature walls that feel at home around Lee Green crossroads and the streets leading towards Manor House Gardens. Whether you want a traditional look or a clean contemporary line, we match the stone, jointing and coping to your property. Our team handles everything from groundworks to final pointing and tidy-up.
Lee Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often benefit from smarter front boundaries and stronger garden divisions. We regularly upgrade tired brick edging with stone that complements period detailing and improves security and privacy. For sloped plots, we create retaining solutions that protect patios and planting beds from movement. If you’re near SE12, we’ll recommend finishes that suit the local streetscape and your maintenance preferences.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written scope, then agree stone type, wall height, drainage and coping details. Every wall is built on proper footings (or engineered dry stone where appropriate), with careful attention to stability, weep holes and backfill for retaining work. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working practices, and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, ground conditions can vary, so we assess soil, levels and water run-off before setting foundations. Around Leegate Shopping Centre and Lee station, access and parking can be tighter, so we plan deliveries and cutting areas to minimise disruption. Many gardens here have modest frontages, so we design walls that maximise usable space without overwhelming the plot. Where retaining is needed, we include drainage details suited to local rainfall and clay-heavy patches.

Costs vary by height, thickness, foundations and stone choice. As a guide, mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while premium facing stone or complex copings can push higher. Dry stone walls are typically £300–£550 per m² due to the skill and hand-selection involved. Retaining walls usually cost more because of excavation, drainage and reinforcement, commonly £400–£800+ per m².
Most small boundary or feature walls take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger builds and retaining walls commonly run 1–3 weeks, depending on excavation, access, curing times for concrete footings, and the complexity of corners, steps or piers. Weather can affect progress, especially for mortaring and pointing. We’ll provide a realistic programme and keep you updated if ground conditions change the scope.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, visibility near highways, and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. Front boundary walls are often more restricted than rear garden walls, particularly close to junctions. We’ll discuss your design and check the likely requirements before work begins. If approvals are needed, we can help with drawings and information for the council process.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our stone walls, covering issues such as structural movement caused by installation faults, failing joints/pointing, or inadequate footings and drainage where specified. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and texture, which is part of its character, but we source quality materials and build to spec. We also advise on aftercare to keep the wall looking sharp for years.
We build in flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with options for dry stone or mortared finishes depending on the look and the wall’s role. Popular choices include ragstone boundary walls with stone copings, flint feature panels, and robust retaining walls with weep holes and drainage. We can also add piers, steps, curves and recessed planting pockets. We’ll bring samples and recommend a design that suits your home and budget.
