Response within 24 hours
Whether you’re framing a front garden in SE15 or creating a statement boundary, our stonework is built to look right and last. We design and construct dry stone and mortared walls, plus retaining and feature walls, tailored to your layout. Homeowners near Peckham Rye Park often ask for walls that blend with planting and paving without dominating the space. Expect clean lines, careful levels and a finish that suits Peckham’s mix of traditional and contemporary homes.
Peckham’s Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses each call for a different approach to proportion and detailing. In Nunhead and East Dulwich, we frequently match existing brickwork and garden steps with complementary stone tones. For warehouse-style conversions around the arts venues, feature walls in limestone or sandstone can add warmth without losing the industrial edge. Our team is based just 25 minutes away, so site visits and follow-ups are quick and practical.
We start with a measured survey, discuss height, coping options and drainage, then provide a clear written specification. Every wall is built on the right foundations, with correct batter, weep holes and backfill where required for retaining work. We keep the site tidy, protect neighbouring boundaries, and coordinate deliveries to minimise disruption. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, skilled stonemasons and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Access in Peckham can be tight, especially on terraced streets near Queen’s Road, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary, and retaining walls often need deeper footings and proper back-drainage to manage runoff. We also consider boundary lines, party wall sensitivities and visibility from public paths near places like Peckham Library. Where needed, we align our work with London Borough of Southwark guidance and conservation considerations.

Costs vary by height, access, stone choice and whether it’s dry stone or mortared. As a guide, small feature walls often start around £1,200–£2,500. Boundary walls commonly fall in the £250–£450 per m² range, while retaining walls with drainage and reinforced footings are typically £350–£650 per m². We’ll survey your SE15 site and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most feature or low boundary walls take 2–5 days, depending on length and the amount of cutting and detailing. Larger projects, stepped walls on sloping gardens, or retaining walls with excavation and drainage usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access (common on Peckham terraces), curing time for mortared work, and lead times for specific stone such as flint or ragstone.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location next to a highway, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. In the London Borough of Southwark, additional constraints can apply, especially for prominent front boundaries. We’ll advise on typical limits, check what’s relevant to your address, and help you prepare any drawings or information needed for an application.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on our stone walling. This covers issues caused by installation faults, such as movement linked to inadequate foundations, poor bonding, or incorrect drainage on retaining walls. Natural stone colour variation and normal weathering aren’t defects, but we’ll always explain what to expect. If a problem arises, we assess promptly and carry out remedial work where covered.
We build dry stone walls for a traditional, textured look and mortared walls for crisp lines and higher heights. Popular materials include flint for character, ragstone for heritage-style boundaries, and limestone or sandstone for a lighter, contemporary finish. We can add copings, piers, recessed lighting details and planting pockets for feature walls. We’ll guide you on colour, scale and maintenance to suit your Peckham property.
