What is the best material to fill them with, and how to choose stones? You can use different types of stones and rocks, or even combine them.

Rocks and stones are the most typical fillers for gabion baskets, as they meet the criteria of durability, longevity, and stability. When selecting stones, keep the following in mind: the stones must be frost-resistant and moisture-resistant.

You may also opt for fillers with aesthetic value. If desired, decorative walls can be filled with lighter and less dense materials such as wood logs, river rocks, gravel, colorful glass pieces, shells, bricks or pottery, pine cones, or straw. This creates a cost-effective and visually appealing decorative wall.
