Find Out How Gabion Walls Can Reduce Your Environmental Impact

Posted by San Diego Landscaper on Wednesday, 17 October , 2018
gabion

The word “gabion” isn’t necessarily one you come across every day. However, gabion walls can be an effective, attractive, and inexpensive method of fencing that can tie the look of your home and landscaping together.

In this issue, the San Diego landscaping design experts with Juniper Landscape Company will talk in-depth about gabion walls, and the difference maker they can make for your landscape.

What are gabion walls?

Dating back thousands of years, gabion (originated from the Italian “gabbione,” which means “big cage”) walls are essentially cages filled with surrounding material (rocks, sandstones, gravel, marble, granite, cobblestones, wood, clay, etc.).

While the original gabion walls were constructed mostly of wicker, today’s gabion walls are made of a metal mesh that will not bend when filled.

What are the benefits of gabion walls?

Their design provides a host of benefits of gabion walls.

  • Natural beauty.
    When filled with material unearthed on-site or from nearby, gabion walls provide a sense of “naturally belonging there.”
  • Flexible retaining wall.
    When threats of bad weather or high water arise, layers of soil are held back by the gabion wall, even though its constructed to move with the earth. Because water is able to seep through, a gabion wall will not be washed away in storms.
  • Sustainability.
    Because they’re not made of concrete or a similar material, there’s no negative environmental impact by gabion walls. In fact, if vegetation is allowed to grow on and around the gabion walls, the environmental impact can actually be improved.

Juniper Landscape Company was on-time,... Read More

I was always out there cleaning up the leaf litter or be fined by the HOA. I hired Juniper Landscape Company. They came out and actually listened to what I wanted. They... Read More

    Juniper Landscape Company has been fantastic. Before them, we ran through three or four other lawn and landscape maintenance companies who did spotty and sometimes outright poor work, were not always reliable and who ended up creating problems for us in a variety of ways. That experience led us to subscribe to Angie's List... Read More
