One of the first moves that the contractor, architect or homeowner would take to build a retaining wall, slope protection or ornamental structure is estimating the cost of the gabion wall per metre. As the construction and landscaping projects grow in Saudi Arabia, being aware of the actual cost of the gabions may be useful in controlling the budgets and just effective planning of the materials.
Hitech Gabion offers transparent pricing and personalised supply. Regardless of the size of the decorative walls that you are ordering to fit in a villa or the huge size of the retaining walls that are designed to cater to highways and drainage systems, our team provides quality and competitive price for the gabions.
What is Gabions and Gabion Cost Structure?
Gabions are wire mesh baskets stuffed with natural stones, which are used to retain the walls, erosion control, and decoration purposes. The price of the gabions will depend on the type of materials to be used, the coating, the size of the mesh, the filling material to be used and the transportation.
Key Price Factors
- Wire Material: Galvanized, Galfan, or PVC coated mesh will influence life expectancy and cost.
- Basket Dimensions: It has 1m x 1m x 1m dimensions and others.
- Stone Type: The cost and look are determined by either granite, basalt or local limestone.
- Site Conditions: The gradient of the terrain, type of soil and accessibility to location influence the total cost.
Generally, the price of gabion wall per metre in Saudi Arabia varies between SAR 350 and SAR 750, which depends on the height of the structure and quality of materials used. Hitech will make sure that all estimates are based on the actual requirements of the project and not an average.
Gabion Wall Cost per Meter – Practical Breakdown
For project planning, understanding the gabion wall cost per meter helps with budgeting and design alignment. Below is a general cost overview (approximate values).

The importance of Accurate Cost Estimation of Gabion
Excess or inadequate estimation of cost of the gabion wall per metre may impact the budgetary allocation as well as the quality of the structure. There are cheaper equivalents provided by some suppliers, though it has been shown that low-grade wire or the wrong mesh coating can cause corrosion in a few years of use - generating repair or replacement costs that are much higher than the savings made.
Hitech Gabion will be precise because:
- On site assessment on terrain conditions and wall design.
- Giving individual quotes on the basis of actual material and transportation expenses.
- Offering lifetime certification of corrosion resistance on high durability installations.
Such detail provides the architects and engineers with a stable projection, which guarantees the sustainability in performance and predictable project results.

Comparing Gabions Cost Across Applications
The gabions cost also depends on the type of project and required wall strength. For instance, decorative villa walls require smaller baskets and lighter stones, while flood protection structures need large units and denser fill material.
