FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a gabion wall?
A garden-sized gabion wall can often be built in a few days. Larger retaining walls take longer because of groundwork and the volume of stone to place. We'll give you a timeline with your quote.
Do pebble beds need a weed barrier?
Yes. A weed barrier (geotextile) laid under the stones stops most weeds and keeps the pebbles from sinking into the soil, so the bed stays clean and level. Edging holds everything in place.
Which pebbles are best for a garden?
It depends on the look you want: white pebbles give crisp contrast against green plants and dark paving, grey pebbles suit modern gardens, and brown pebbles blend naturally with planting and timber. Larger river stones work well for dry river beds and borders. See the comparison on this page.
