Stone walls bring permanence and character to Putney's varied gardens. From Victorian terraces to modern developments, natural stone creates boundaries that enhance rather than dominate.
Response within 24 hours
Putney's mix of period properties and contemporary homes demands thoughtful stonework solutions. Victorian houses near the Common often benefit from reclaimed London stock walls that echo their heritage. Meanwhile, the newer developments towards Roehampton suit crisp limestone or granite installations. Each project starts with understanding your property's character.
Material selection proves crucial in SW15's clay-heavy soil conditions. Proper foundations prevent seasonal movement that plagues poorly constructed walls. Natural drainage channels integrated during construction eliminate water pressure behind retaining structures. These technical considerations ensure longevity beyond aesthetic appeal.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Putney's sloping terrain towards the Thames. Years working across SW15 mean understanding which stone weathers best in riverside humidity.
