GABION WALL

Gabion Wall, originating from an old Italian word, gabbione, with the meaning "big cage". Gabion walls are sturdy cages made out of galvanized welded mesh or stainless steel wire. These enclosures can be filled with a variety of stone, rock, or soil. They can even be planted. This landscaping product provides a unique and versatile architectural design.

But, it’s key feature is the structural support Gabion walls provide in creating a retaining wall. Gabion walls stabilize the soil, prevent erosion, and can conform to ground movement, thus making this structure a permeable and free draining landscape product. The stock color comes in a galvanized silver tone and will rust with time. It can be powder coated for a more customized look.
