All Things Gabion

Create stunning and durable landscapes with gabion solutions. Transform your outdoor space with the natural beauty and strength of gabion structures — from retaining walls to seating features.

What Is Gabion?

Gabion structures are wire mesh cages or baskets filled with rocks, stones, or other materials. They've been used in civil engineering for centuries — and in recent years they've become a stunning design element in modern landscaping. Strong, permeable, and naturally beautiful, gabion brings raw texture and longevity to any outdoor space.

Gabion Applications

From functional to decorative, gabion structures solve real landscape problems while looking incredible.

🧱

Retaining Walls

Gabion walls are one of the strongest, most cost-effective retaining wall options — perfect for managing slopes in Austin's hilly terrain.

🌊

Dry Creek Beds

Line a drainage swale with gabion baskets for a natural, textured look that handles stormwater with style.

🪑

Seating Walls & Benches

Custom gabion seating walls with wood or stone caps create functional, eye-catching features in any outdoor space.

🌿

Raised Planting Beds

Gabion-framed raised beds add structure and texture to garden areas while providing excellent drainage.

🏡

Fence & Privacy Screens

Taller gabion walls create unique, semi-transparent privacy screens that are far more interesting than a standard wood fence.

💧

Erosion Control

Gabion systems are exceptionally effective at controlling erosion on slopes and along drainage channels.
