gabion stone
A Versatile Solution for Durable and Sustainable Construction
Gabion stone is a robust and versatile material used extensively in construction and landscaping projects. Known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, it is a popular choice for creating retaining walls, riverbank reinforcements, and decorative landscaping features. Whether used in infrastructure projects or garden designs, gabion stone combines functionality with environmental sustainability. Its low maintenance requirements and ease of installation make our Gabion Stone the right choice for you.
Our Gabion stone is commonly used as a fill material for Gabion stone baskets, nets and rolls. During recent years, the demand for Gabion in gardens has increased because of its aesthetically pleasing nature.
Frequently used in conjunction with Gabion baskets, Gabion stone is becoming a feature in an increasing number of modern construction and landscaping projects. Strong and durable, it’s suitable for a variety of outdoor environments where aesthetics are a consideration.
Why use our Gabion Stone?
Our gabion stone is sourced from selected quarries and processed to high standards to ensure consistency in size and shape, an important factor when it comes to the appearance and stability of gabion baskets. The natural, rustic appearance of gabion basket stones means they can blend seamlessly with the environment, making them suitable for both functional and decorative applications.
The use of gabion stone is not only a practical choice but also an environmentally friendly one. These stones promote natural drainage and help in reducing soil erosion, making them a sustainable option suitable for a range of design and architectural applications. In terms of strength and stability, gabion stone provides robust support to structures, particularly when it comes to erosion control and retaining walls, ensuring both longevity and durability. Baskets filled with gabion stones are an indispensable part of many coastal and sea defence projects as they effectively absorb and dissipate wave energy.
Gabion stone is a popular choice for other civil engineering projects too, where it is used to build retaining walls. A gabion wall is made of stacked stone-filled gabions tied together with wire, which are usually angled back towards the slope or stepped back with the slope, rather than stacked vertically. The aesthetic appeal of gabion stone means it has also been used to create striking features in gardens, parks and other public and private spaces.
