Gabion Fill Material

Gabion fill material is specifically selected for use in gabion baskets-wire mesh containers used to build retaining walls, erosion control structures, and decorative landscape features. This material typically consists of durable, angular stones or rock fragments that interlock well, providing structural stability and excellent drainage within the gabion system.

The gabion attribute means the fill material is chosen for its ability to resist shifting and settling, ensuring long-term performance in both residential and commercial applications. Common uses include retaining walls, riverbank stabilization, sound barriers, and garden features. The angular nature of gabion fill promotes strong interlocking, which is essential for stability, but it may be less suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Overall, gabion fill material is valued for its strength, permeability, and versatility in a wide range of construction and landscaping projects.
