Gabion landscaping bringing local colours to development

Enviromesh gabions bring architectural enhancement to retaining wall designs

To provide considered design to functional retaining wall structures, Enviromesh developed a locally focussed retaining wall solution to support a housing development for Allison Homes.

The housing development in Devon required a more considered architectural solution for the build to secure lasting results while actively seeking to lessen environmental impacts. Working with the Enviromesh specialist team, a comprehensive plan was developed which ensured the high quality, long-lasting gabion performance of the retaining wall applications while remaining conscious of aesthetic and conservation impacts to the areas a whole.

Gabion Stone

Working with local suppliers, Enviromesh were able to locally source stone for the gabions to retain similar colours and material application already utilised within the region. Partnering with local businesses also achieved reduced costs and environmental impacts of the project and application of conservation practices to further enhance the development results.

Results achieved significant aesthetic benefits to the development, demonstrated the more diverse application of gabions for garden landscaping and wider functional retaining structures that will remain long-lasting and continue to support natural development with local wildlife.

Gabion Freestanding Walls and Landscaping

Enviromesh freestanding gabion walls are a popular choice for residential developments due to the functional flexibility they can provide to spaces.

For the Devon development, the gabions have provided robust structures alongside inclined spaces to further provide cohesive construction for the various development levels. Additionally, our gabions supporting garden spaces alongside standard wooden fencing providing functional design options to the perimeter of some properties.

The concept designed between the Allison Homes developers and Enviromesh teams, achieved privacy for individual properties accounting for the differing levels of landscape, while adding textures and visually conscious landscape construction built to last creating high level screening. The approach enables a functional design that avoids what could be an oppressive style due to the wall heights to compliment living spaces that are in-keeping with the wider local area and residential expectations for prospective occupiers.
