A GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT GABION STONES

Selecting gabion stones for your project is not just about practicality; it's also a chance to add a unique style to your outdoor space. Let's look into the key factors to consider when picking the perfect stones for your gabion baskets, balancing function with a touch of style. 
  
What Size Do You Need? 
  
Size is crucial in gabion stone selection. Larger stones are great for making a statement in big baskets, offering stability and strength. Smaller stones, ideal for more delicate designs, can be used in smaller baskets for a refined look.  
 
Shape and Durability 
  
The shape is important for the integrity of your gabion. Angular stones, such as Charcoal Basalt Gabion Stone, interlock well, enhancing stability, while round stones add a softer aesthetic. Durability is key, so our stones are selected for their ability to withstand the elements, ensuring your gabion stays intact over time. 
 
Colour: Adding Character 
  
The colour of your stones can significantly impact the overall look of your gabion. Natural tones like grey and brown blend effortlessly with the landscape, while bolder colours, like our or Polar White Gabion Cobbles, can create striking features. Our range offers a palette to suit every design aspiration. 
  
Longevity: Built to Last 
  
Choosing durable stones is essential for the longevity of your gabion project. Our selection of hard-wearing stones, which includes our Celtic Gabion Stone, guarantees that your structure not only looks good but also lasts longer, enduring through seasons and time. 
 
Remember...

Eco-Friendly: Respect for Nature 
  
Opting for environmentally friendly materials is always a good choice. Our gabion stones are natural, minimally processed, and have a positive impact on the environment, supporting soil and plant life with their permeable nature.
