From mansion-flat courtyards near Paddington Basin to family gardens around Maida Vale, well-built stonework brings definition and a sense of permanence. We design and construct retaining walls, feature walls and boundary walls that look right with local architecture. Whether you need a discreet wall to level a sloping lawn or a statement backdrop for planting, our team delivers clean lines and durable detailing. We’re used to working around busy streets and tight access close to Paddington station.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and contemporary apartments calls for stone walling that feels considered, not overbearing. We often match proportions and finishes to period façades, while keeping joints and coping details sharp for modern terraces. For compact gardens in W2, a slim-profile wall can create seating edges, raised beds and clear zones without sacrificing space. If you’re after a softer, heritage look, we can incorporate flint panels or weathered stone to complement older properties.
Every project starts with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and the best foundation approach. We provide a written scope, material samples where helpful, and a build programme that respects neighbours and access constraints. Our masons use proven methods for dry stone and mortared construction, with careful backfilling and weep provision for retaining walls. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, tidy handover and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning for restricted parking, timed deliveries and shared access to rear gardens. Around Bayswater and Marylebone we frequently encounter basement lightwells, existing vaults and older boundary structures that need sensitive tying-in. We assess ground conditions, manage spoil removal, and keep sites organised to minimise disruption. If approvals are needed, we help you navigate local requirements before work begins.

Costs vary with stone type, wall height, foundations and access. As a guide, mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while premium finishes (ragstone, flint detailing, limestone) can be £450–£800+ per m². Retaining walls are usually higher due to excavation, drainage and reinforcement, commonly £400–£900+ per m². We’ll confirm a range after a site visit in the stone walling Paddington area.
Small feature walls or raised beds can take 2–5 days, while longer boundary walls typically take 1–2 weeks. Retaining walls may take 1–3 weeks depending on excavation depth, drainage runs and curing time for mortared work. Access in W2, delivery restrictions and the need to hand-carry materials can extend programmes. We provide a realistic schedule and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but restrictions can apply in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where a wall fronts a highway and exceeds certain heights. In the City of Westminster, it’s also worth checking any estate rules for mansion blocks and communal areas. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you prepare drawings and information if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our stone walling workmanship, covering issues such as structural movement caused by poor construction, failed joints, and defects in installation. For retaining walls, this includes correct drainage detailing where specified. Natural stone is a durable material, but it still needs appropriate foundations and fixing methods—both are included in our scope. We also advise on aftercare and cleaning to keep the finish looking its best.
We build dry stone walls for a traditional, textured look and mortared walls for crisp lines and formal detailing. Popular choices include flint panels for character, ragstone for a classic Kentish feel, and sandstone or limestone for lighter, contemporary finishes. We can add copings, piers, recessed lighting channels, and integrated planters or seating edges. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style, budget and the exposure of the site.
