Gabion Stones
What are gabion rocks?
Gabion rocks are specially selected stones designed for use in gabion cages. They are typically under 200 mm in diameter, with at least one flat face, allowing the stone to stack securely and minimise voids inside the cage. Gabion walls and baskets are popular for both structural and decorative landscaping, combining strength with natural beauty.
At Transrock, we recommend and supply Coldstream gabion rocks and Honey Granite gabion rocks, giving you the choice between a rugged multi-coloured stone or a warm honey-toned finish to suit the style of your landscaping project.
