Stone walls have graced Sutton properties for generations, and there's something particularly satisfying about their solid presence. Whether you're tackling that sloping garden common to Cheam's hillside plots or creating definition in Carshalton's generous family gardens, properly constructed stonework transforms spaces. Local chalk deposits and proximity to Surrey quarries make natural stone a historically authentic choice for SM postcodes.
Building stone walls requires understanding load distribution, drainage channels, and foundation depth specific to each site's soil conditions. Sutton's clay-heavy ground demands particular attention to frost lines and seasonal movement. Dry stone techniques allow natural flex whilst mortared constructions provide absolute stability for retaining walls. Material selection ranges from reclaimed London stock to fresh-quarried Cotswold limestone, each offering distinct aesthetics.
Twenty-three years constructing walls throughout Wallington, Cheam and beyond means recognising every garden's quirks. Those narrow Victorian side returns need different approaches than sprawling Edwardian plots.

Basic boundary walls start around £180-220 per linear metre, whilst complex retaining structures with integrated drainage typically range £350-450. SM3's larger plots often benefit from sectioned pricing as longer runs reduce per-metre costs.
Absolutely - from SM1's town centre properties through SM2's residential streets to SM3's greener fringes. Regular work extends into neighbouring Carshalton, Wallington and Cheam districts too.
Modest garden walls typically complete within 5-8 working days. Extensive retaining systems or lengthy boundaries might stretch to 3-4 weeks, particularly if excavation reveals unexpected ground conditions.
Each wall carries decade-long structural assurance covering foundation integrity, stone placement and mortar joints where applicable. Annual checks during the first two years ensure settling occurs evenly.
Certainly - stone offers permanence where fence panels fail repeatedly. Height restrictions apply near highways, but most residential boundaries accommodate 1.8m walls. Party wall agreements may be needed for shared boundaries.
