Costs vary with height changes, access and the type of retaining walls. As a guide, smaller terrace schemes with one wall and new steps often start around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-sized gardens with multiple levels, drainage and lighting commonly fall between £18,000–£35,000. Larger transformations with premium stone, irrigation and water features can be £40,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey in SE15.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on the number of levels and the amount of groundwork. A single retaining wall with steps and planting can be completed in around 10–15 working days. Multi-level builds with drainage runs, lighting, seating areas and water features typically take 4–8 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time for concrete, and lead times for bespoke materials.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terracing can trigger rules when it significantly alters ground levels, affects drainage, or involves boundary structures over certain heights. If you’re in a conservation area or working near listed features, extra restrictions may apply. We review your design against Southwark guidance, advise on wall heights and overlooking, and can help with drawings for any application if needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our terrace garden builds, covering structural installation of retaining walls, steps, paving bases and associated construction elements when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products such as lighting, pumps and irrigation components. We also hand over care guidance for planting and finishes, plus maintenance options to keep everything performing well through the seasons.
