STRENGTHEN YOUR LANDSCAPE WITH GABIONS
11 Sep 2018
A cost-effective solution to myriad landscape dilemmas, gabion cages from Yarrabee & Castlemaine Stone Solutions will stabilise slopes, control erosion, maintain the shape of your garden, or just add aesthetic appeal.
Gabion baskets can be used for an extensive range of walling purposes for your landscape, including stone retaining walls, seating, vertical gardens, outdoor fireplaces, feature walls and vegetable gardens. Long-lasting, durable and sturdy, gabion walls will stand the test of time and can handle anything the harsh Australian environment can throw at them.
Yarrabee & Castlemaine Stone Solutions' range of gabion baskets are made from 5mm welded, hot dip galvanised steel mesh in a 50x50mm grid, which provides 45 percent more steel than the traditional 75x75mm grids, offering a significant increase in durability. This design choice will also minimise any ‘bulging’ that can often happen in weaker gabion baskets. Filled with your choice of stone and extremely simple to construct, the gabion baskets will create a unique and funky look for any landscape, and are extremely cost-friendly too.
The edges are bound together with spiral joiners that form two passes within each 50mm opening, further doubling the strength of the basket. 
Despite the extra durability, Yarrabee ensures the price is still reasonable. Discover what price they can offer you with their handy gabion basket calculator.
Yarrabee’s gabion baskets can offer a variety of application methods to improve the overall quality of your landscape.
Retaining Walls | Yarrabee’s ‘dry’ gabion garden retaining walls are the perfect solution to stabilise slopes and control landscape erosion. Long lasting with exceptional drainage capabilities, they are ideal for your commercial landscape. 
Garden Edging | A gabion retaining wall can be used for garden edging, perfect for a community garden or stunning soft landscape design. The wall will keep the garden beds intact, as the baskets maintain their shape and provide sufficient drainage. 
Outdoor Seating | A gabion wall can be used to create a stylish outdoor seating option. Build the wall and add a matching bench to provide a place for people to relax in your community landscape. Thanks to the durable nature of the baskets, which are long-lasting and maintain their shape, these seats will remain in place for years to come. 
Yarrabee & Castlemaine Stone Solutions offer their services throughout most of Victoria.
