High quality gabions for creative garden design

Gabions impress with their durability, attractive appearance and versatile uses in garden design. It's no surprise, then, that the sturdy stone baskets are enjoying great popularity with more and more home gardeners.

What Are Gabions?

Gabions are solid mesh baskets that can be filled with stones. For this reason, they are sometimes called stone baskets. Gabions are available in different sizes and shapes.

For example, they come in the form of round and square columns, as well as straight and curved wall elements of different heights and widths. The most suitable variant depends on the intended use of the stone baskets.

Why gabions are a good choice in garden design

• Baskets are very easy to set up and fill with stones.

• No special expertise or tools are needed for assembly.

• Gabions are weather resistant, durable and easy to maintain.

• With countless variations, sturdy stone baskets offer a wide range of design options.

Gabions for the discerning home gardener

With their high stability and durability, gabions are the ideal choice for discerning home gardeners. Unlike wooden elements, stone baskets do not need to be painted at regular intervals.

Despite manageable maintenance, they withstand the elements with ease and look great years after installation. If you want to skillfully accentuate your garden design without having to start over every year and repair weather damage, you're definitely on the right track by purchasing gabions.

Gabions for commercial businesses and public places

Because of their high stability, gabions are by no means only suitable for domestic garden design. They can be used just as well for landscaping public places or outdoor areas of commercial enterprises, such as restaurants, and also score points there thanks to their durability as well as their low maintenance requirements.

Gabions: ideal for creative garden design

Aside from their exceptional durability, gabions can also impress with their decidedly diverse uses. Therefore, there are virtually no limits to your creativity when it comes to garden design.

For example, use the stone baskets as a garden fence, for the construction of a raised bed or as a privacy screen with which you can cleverly hide unsightly parts of your garden, such as the location of your trash cans.

Maybe you want a special sitting area or a garden fireplace that doesn't exist in any other garden in the neighbourhood. In this case too, gabions of the right shape and size are an excellent choice to realize your plan.

Gabion raised garden beds: A great alternative to wood

If you want to create a raised bed and don't want to rely on the usual wooden kits, gabions are the perfect alternative.

With the help of baskets filled with stones, you can turn your raised bed into a real eye-catcher in the garden, which you will be able to enjoy for many years thanks to the materials' weather resistance.

For example, use gabions to create a raised bed for vegetables or fruit or to beautify your garden with colourful flowers. The possibilities are vast and stone baskets will ensure that your plants are well protected and can flourish to their fullest.

Gabion Fence: A customised privacy screen in no time

Depending on local conditions, it may be necessary to protect your own garden from the prying eyes of neighbours or passers-by.

You may need to protect your garden from the prying eyes of neighbours or passers-by.

Gabions are ideal for this purpose. Indeed, a gabion fence or wall can not only be erected in a very short time. The stone baskets also perform their function immediately after assembly.

If, on the other hand, you were to rely on a hedge as a privacy screen, you would have to wait several years for the plants to reach a sufficient height and grow together to make them opaque. With a gabion wall, this waiting period is not necessary. In addition, you save yourself the maintenance effort associated with a hedge, without having to give up a visually appealing garden boundary because of it.

What stones are suitable for gabions?

It's not just the many different shapes that make gabions so versatile. In addition, you can also provide an individual look according to your personal taste by choosing the stones with which to fill them.

For example, use round stones, quarry stones or decorative gravel. As long as the stones are of sufficient size not to fall through the gabion mesh, you are free to choose in terms of shape.

This also applies in principle to the colour of the stones. For a Mediterranean ambience, for example, you are absolutely right with warm colors, while white stones are particularly noble and subtle, dark colors are particularly timeless. If you wish, you can of course also combine different colours with each other.

Although the choice of stones is largely up to you, you should consider the location of the gabions when making your decision. This is because moss and algae form relatively quickly on the stones in shady, damp areas. Since this is easier to see on light colored materials, darker stones can help avoid extra maintenance in this case.

Cleaning and maintaining gabions

Gabions require very little maintenance overall. However, it may be necessary from time to time to clean the basket stones of moss and algae. For this, it is best to use a special stone cleaner, such as can be found in any well-stocked hardware store.

Aside from this, you can generally do without additional maintenance measures for high quality gabions and count on a long life span.
