Gabion Wall Specialists in South Queensferry
Gabion walls are an increasingly popular choice for South Queensferry gardens, combining industrial-contemporary aesthetics with outstanding structural performance. Their permeable design is perfect for the area's clay soils — water passes through rather than building up behind the wall, eliminating the hydrostatic pressure that collapses traditional retaining walls.
We use galfan-coated wire cages (zinc-aluminium alloy) that provide 3-5x the corrosion resistance of standard galvanised wire — essential for South Queensferry's salt-laden coastal air. Filled with locally-sourced stone, each wall is unique and blends naturally with the Forth estuary landscape.
- Galfan-coated cages — 50+ year coastal lifespan

Are gabion walls suitable for South Queensferry's coastal conditions?
