Expand and extend gabion wall on slope | slope stabilization | raised bed
The small slope below the parking lot was secured last year with a gabion wall. Between the gabion wall and the parking lot I created a raised bed and planted the first plants. The raised bed has automatic watering and is additionally secured with a honeycomb fleece

Build carport yourself – intercept slope with gabions
Our double carport was finally built. The roof is tight, and the paint was also applied several times. With the installation of the electrical system, LED lighting, motion detectors and surveillance camera, the interior was also as good as finished.

Slope stabilization – stack 2 gabions
Over a period of a few weeks, I built the first row of gabions over a length of around 30 meters. A relatively straight section was followed by a slight bend. By placing the gabions inside each other, I was able to form a corner on the south-east side. Towards the end, the difference in height to the existing gabion wall was evened out using a gabion terrace.

Securing slopes with gabions – installing stones correctly
I had now erected the first row of gabions on my earth slope over a length of a good 30 meters. I drew a nice curve for the next 20 meters and then built a real corner with a height offset for the remaining meters. Before I could install the second row of stone baskets, the bottom row first had to be filled with stones.

Securing slopes with gabions – building corners and curves
The stone baskets for the gabion wall were erected over a length of a good 20 meters within a few weeks. Starting from the driveway in a south-easterly direction, I was able to build a slight curve. The spirals provide a certain amount of play – but this does not allow for tight curves. So now I had to form proper corners with

Slope stabilization with gabions – Building raised beds with gabions
Below the gabion-enclosed parking lot, right next to the house, there is an earth slope. This is a good 6m long and just under 2m deep. The entire terrain is sloping at this point and the slope compensates for a height difference of around 1.5m. The slope is so steep that it slides downwards bit by bit during heavy rainfall. I had to find a solution for slope stabilization quickly.
