Gabion Walls –Casa Cavu
Gabion walls made from local river stone, will not only serve as protective barriers, but also add a touch of rustic elegance to this remarkable property called Casa Cavu. Several walls have been installed around the property to prevent erosion and create terraces. By intercepting runoff, controlling sediment, and promoting healthy soil retention, these walls become guardians against the destructive forces of erosion that occurs in the rainy seasons of Costa Rica.
What are Gabion Walls?
Gabion walls are a centuries-old construction technique that has seen a resurgence in modern landscaping and architecture due to their versatility and aesthetic appeal. These walls are created by stacking wire mesh cages filled with a variety of materials, often natural stones, to form a sturdy and visually appealing structure. In the case of Casa Cavu, local river stones are the chosen material, seamlessly merging the property's natural surroundings with its protective infrastructure.
Creating a Harmonious Aesthetic
The integration of gabion walls also enhances the property's ecological value. Over time, the crevices between the stones can become sanctuaries for small plants, insects, and even nesting birds. These pockets of life contribute to the overall biodiversity of the area, transforming the walls from mere functional structures into thriving ecosystems within themselves.
