West Dulwich homeowners often want walls that look established, not newly installed. Whether you’re near West Dulwich station or walking distance from Belair Park, we create stonework that complements mature planting and traditional brickwork. We build retaining walls for sloped gardens, boundary walls for privacy, and feature walls that frame patios and lawns. Every wall is set out for clean lines, safe heights and long-term stability.
SE21 is known for Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and well-proportioned period conversions, and the detailing matters. We match stone colour and joint style to existing garden features, steps and pathways, so the result feels coherent. For larger plots we can create long runs of boundary walling, while smaller gardens benefit from a single feature wall or raised bed edging. If you’re comparing stone walling West Dulwich area options, we’ll advise on what suits your property’s era and scale.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss the finish you want. You’ll receive a clear written specification covering foundations, wall build-up, copings and pointing (where relevant). Our team works tidily, protects planting, and keeps access routes clear for day-to-day living. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, high-quality stone selection, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Lambeth, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. West Dulwich gardens often sit on mixed ground with mature trees, so we account for roots, drainage routes and nearby structures before setting foundations. We also consider party boundaries and shared access common in period conversions. The result is stone walling in London Borough of Lambeth that looks right and performs well.

Costs depend on wall height, access, foundations and stone choice. As a guide, mortared stone walling often starts around £250–£450 per m², while dry stone can be £300–£550 per m² due to the labour involved. Retaining walls may rise to £450–£800+ per m² when drainage, reinforcement and deeper footings are required. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE21.
Small feature walls or short boundary sections typically take 2–5 days. Larger boundary walls or retaining walls usually run 1–3 weeks, depending on length, height and groundwork. Timescales are influenced by access for materials, the need for excavation and drainage, and whether we’re building around existing planting or structures. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change with wall height, highway boundaries, listed buildings and conservation areas. If your wall fronts a road or you’re near a boundary with public access, the permitted height may be lower. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Lambeth requirements before work begins, so you avoid delays or enforcement issues.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our stone walling, covering issues such as structural movement caused by installation faults, failed pointing, or coping instability. It also includes defects linked to our foundations and drainage details as specified. Natural stone is a durable material, but it still needs correct build-up and aftercare; we’ll explain maintenance and any exclusions, such as damage from impact or third-party alterations.
We build dry stone and mortared stone walls using flint, ragstone, sandstone and limestone, with copings in stone, brick or reclaimed materials to suit the garden. Popular options include retaining walls with integrated steps, feature walls with recessed planting, and boundary walls with piers for gates. We’ll help you choose a style that complements your property, budget and exposure, and we can provide samples to confirm colour and texture.
