Marylebone gardens often need boundaries that look authentic and perform year-round. We design and build dry stone and mortared stone walls that complement streets near Marylebone High Street and the quieter edges of Regent’s Park. Whether you want a crisp front boundary or a private rear-garden backdrop, our stonework is detailed, stable and made to age beautifully. Expect clean lines, neat copings and a finish that suits W1 architecture.
The Marylebone area is known for Georgian townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with its own constraints and style cues. We regularly work in Fitzrovia and Paddington where access can be tight and materials must be handled carefully. Our team matches stone colour and jointing to existing brickwork and façades, so new walls sit naturally alongside older fabric. For courtyards and roof terraces, we specify lighter build-ups where appropriate without compromising strength.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and load requirements, then provide a clear specification and itemised quote. Every build is set out properly, with solid footings where needed and careful stone selection for consistent faces. We keep neighbours in mind, manage deliveries to suit local restrictions, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, skilled craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning for limited parking, timed deliveries and narrow access routes, especially around Baker Street. We assess ground conditions and drainage to prevent movement and staining, then specify suitable foundations and weep details for retaining walls. Many W1 properties have basement works, lightwells or shared boundaries, so we coordinate levels and wall thicknesses carefully. If permissions or party wall considerations apply, we flag them early and help you stay compliant.

Costs vary with stone type, height, access and whether it’s dry stone or mortared. As a guide, mortared sandstone/limestone walls often start around £300–£600 per linear metre for low walls, while premium finishes, copings and complex detailing can reach £700–£1,200+ per metre. Retaining walls typically cost more due to foundations, drainage and reinforcement, commonly £500–£1,500+ per metre depending on height and loads.
A small feature or boundary wall can take 2–5 days, while longer runs or retaining walls usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for footings, stone availability, and access for deliveries in W1. Dry stone work can be slower due to hand selection and fitting, while mortared walls may progress faster but still require careful setting out and finishing. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location (front boundary vs rear), listed buildings and conservation areas. In Marylebone, these factors are common, so it’s worth checking before work begins. We review your site, advise on likely constraints, and can help you confirm requirements with Westminster City Council. If a party wall sits on or near the boundary, we’ll also recommend the right notices.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our stone walling, covering issues such as structural failure caused by installation defects, poor bonding/pointing, or inadequate build methods. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, ground movement from unrelated building works, or extreme events outside reasonable control. We also follow best-practice detailing for drainage and foundations to reduce risk long-term. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We build dry stone and mortared walls in flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with options for smooth ashlar-style faces or more rustic, characterful coursing. For retaining walls, we can include weep vents, hidden drainage and robust copings. Feature walls can incorporate piers, recessed lighting channels, or seating edges where space allows. We’ll guide you on colour, texture and joint style so the wall suits your property and garden layout.
