Pimlico’s garden squares and riverside plots deserve walling that looks established from day one. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or walking distance from Pimlico tube station, we create stone walls that define boundaries, frame planting and add structure. Choose from dry stone craftsmanship or clean, mortared finishes for a more formal look. Every build is tailored to your garden levels, light and sightlines.
Local properties in SW1 range from Regency townhouses to mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different access and detailing needs. We regularly match new stonework to existing brickwork, railings and paving so the garden feels cohesive. For compact courtyards and communal gardens, we design walls that maximise usable space without overwhelming it. If you’re in Westminster, Victoria, Chelsea or Vauxhall, we can visit quickly from our Norbury base in around 30 minutes.
We start with a site survey, level checks and a clear recommendation on stone type, footing depth and drainage. Retaining walls are engineered with proper foundations, weep holes and backfill to prevent pressure build-up. You’ll receive a written scope, tidy working practices, and a schedule that respects neighbours and shared access. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a finish that stays sharp season after season.
Working in the City of Westminster often means tighter access, controlled parking and careful material deliveries. Many Pimlico homes have basement levels and raised terraces, so we pay close attention to retaining design, waterproofing interfaces and drainage runs. We also account for shared pathways and mansion block courtyards, keeping sites safe and tidy. Our approach adapts to local constraints without compromising the finish.

Costs vary by stone choice, wall height, foundations and access in SW1. As a guide, small feature walls often start from around £250–£450 per m², while premium stone and detailed copings can be £500–£800+ per m². Retaining walls typically cost more due to excavation, drainage and engineering, commonly £450–£900+ per m². We provide a measured quote after a site visit.
Most feature walls take 2–5 days depending on length, height and stone type. Larger boundary walls and retaining walls usually take 1–3 weeks, especially where excavation, concrete footings and drainage are required. Access in Pimlico (narrow routes, delivery windows, stair access to gardens) can affect pace. Weather, curing time for mortared work, and bespoke stone cutting also influence the schedule.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change if the wall is adjacent to a highway, exceeds certain heights, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. Parts of Pimlico and Westminster can have additional constraints, so it’s important to check early. We review your site, flag likely requirements and can help you gather the information needed before work starts.
Yes. Our stone walling comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including structural stability, mortar failure (where applicable) and defects caused by installation. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage and ground levels aren’t altered after completion in a way that overloads the wall. We also provide care guidance for cleaning and pointing so the wall keeps its finish over time.
We build dry stone walls for a natural, textured look, and mortared stone walls for crisp lines and formal gardens. Popular materials include flint for character, ragstone for a traditional South East feel, and sandstone or limestone for a lighter, refined finish; we also source durable options suited to London conditions. We can add copings, piers, curves, steps and integrated planters, helping you choose what complements your property.
