Case Study: Gabion Retaining Wall (by Lisa)

• Project: Garden Gabion Retaining Wall
• Client: Lisa
• Construction: 15.05.2023

Case Study Summary

This garden project uses a two-tier gabion retaining wall to manage the sloping ground while creating a more usable outdoor space. The gabion walls were filled with natural limestone, retaining the different ground levels. The gabions provide excellent drainage and offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative to traditional concrete or timber retaining walls.

Both tiers were built in line, with each basket stacked directly on the one below. You can compare in-line and staggered layouts in our gabion retaining wall guide.

“A two-tier gabion retaining wall is no small project, so it’s great to see how well this one has turned out. Lisa has done a fantastic job, and the finished result really speaks for itself. The walls and planting all work together to create a practical garden that’s built to last.”

Erno, Sales Support Specialist at Wire Fence

Final Result

The completed retaining walls completely transformed the garden, turning a difficult sloping site into a series of practical, usable spaces.

“Really helpful staff especially Erno who always replied promptly and gave great advice and help with our project. We would highly recommend this company and we will definitely use them again for future projects.”
