Those narrow Victorian plots throughout SW18 need thoughtful boundary solutions. Stone walling transforms cramped side returns into architectural features worth admiring. Whether you're tackling that steep slope near Earlsfield station or creating privacy between closely-packed terraces, quality stonework changes everything. Local sandstone matches the area's heritage buildings beautifully.
Foundation depth determines longevity – especially with London clay shifting beneath Southfields gardens. Each stone gets hand-selected, ensuring proper weight distribution across uneven ground. Drainage channels prevent water pooling behind walls during those November downpours. Modern mortaring techniques resist frost damage whilst maintaining traditional aesthetics.
Twenty years building walls between Battersea's converted warehouses taught us what works here. Understanding soil movement patterns specific to riverside Wandsworth prevents future cracking. Local knowledge matters when matching existing brickwork colours.

Basic garden walls start around £180-220 per square metre. Retaining walls supporting driveways or patios range £300-450 depending on height. Those intricate curved designs matching period features often reach £500+ given the skilled labour required.
Absolutely – from Trinity Road's grand houses to modest Southfields semis. Regular work includes Earlsfield's sloping gardens and Battersea's new developments. Anywhere accessible from SW18 works perfectly.
