West Wickham's sloping gardens and generous plots deserve boundaries that blend strength with style. Stone walling transforms tired fencing into timeless features that weather beautifully alongside the area's leafy character.

BR4's mix of Victorian villas and post-war developments often feature challenging level changes that cry out for proper retention. Natural stone offers the perfect solution, creating walls that work as hard structurally as they do aesthetically. From subtle garden dividers to substantial retaining walls managing those steep banks common near Hayes Lane, each project starts with understanding your specific ground conditions.
Stone selection makes all the difference to longevity and appearance. Kentish ragstone suits period properties beautifully, whilst York stone provides clean lines for contemporary spaces. Proper foundation depth prevents seasonal movement, especially crucial given West Wickham's clay-heavy soil. Drainage channels built into the structure ensure water doesn't pool behind walls, protecting both the stonework and your garden's stability.
Twenty years handling West Wickham's varied terrain means anticipating problems before they arise. Local knowledge of planning requirements around Coney Hall helps projects progress smoothly, whether you're rebuilding existing walls or creating new features.

Garden walls averaging 1.2m height typically range £180-280 per linear metre, depending on stone choice and access. Retaining walls requiring deeper foundations start around £350 per metre. Small decorative features like raised beds often fall between £800-1500 complete.
Absolutely - from Pickhurst Lane through to the Bromley border, BR4 forms our core working area. Recent projects include properties near Wickham Common and along the quieter roads off Addington Road.
Standard boundary walls under 15 metres usually complete within 8-10 working days. Complex retaining structures or extensive runs might stretch to 3-4 weeks, weather permitting.
Each wall carries decade-long structural coverage against settlement or failure. Natural weathering and moss growth enhance appearance over time - these aesthetic changes aren't defects but part of stone's natural ageing process.
Stone cladding breathes new life into ugly blockwork. Special ties anchor facing stones securely, creating authentic appearance at lower cost than full rebuilding. Particularly effective for those stark 1960s boundary walls common in West Wickham's newer estates.
