Steel. Stone. Strength.
Terrock Ltd specialises in gabion systems and aggregates for landscaping, civil engineering, and construction projects. We work with architects, structural and civil engineers, landscape architects, contractors, and developers who need materials that are robust, practical, and visually adaptable across a wide range of schemes.
At our core, Terrock exists to support projects where ground, structure, and landscape meet. From retaining solutions and erosion control to architectural features and public space design, our products are specified where both performance and appearance matter.
What We Do
We supply gabion baskets, stone-filled systems, and aggregates that are used across:
- Landscaping and external works
- Retaining walls and slope stabilisation
- Infrastructure and civil engineering schemes
- Commercial, residential, and public space developments
- Private gardens through to large-scale developments
Gabions are often associated with purely functional engineering solutions, but in reality they have become an increasingly architectural material – capable of delivering structure, texture, permeability, and visual appeal in a single system. Terrock supports both the technical requirements and the design intent behind these applications.
Our aggregates are selected to complement these systems, offering durability, consistency, and visual quality suitable for both functional and decorative use, offering a choice of granites and limestones.
Who We Work With
Terrock works with a broad professional audience, including:
- Architects & Senior Partners at major UK companies
- Structural and Civil Engineers specifying retaining and stabilisation solutions
- Landscape Architects designing public space, commercial landscapes, and domestic developments
- Architectural Technologists (CIAT members) developing technical packages and construction details
- Interior Designers and Contract Furnishers where external materials form part of a holistic design
- Contractors and Groundworkers delivering projects on site
Whether we are supporting early-stage concept design or responding to a contractor’s onsite query, our role remains the same: to help ensure the right solution is specified and delivered efficiently.
Why Gabions?
Gabion systems continue to be specified because they solve multiple challenges at once:
- Structural performance – suitable for retaining, stabilisation, and load-bearing applications
- Drainage and permeability – reducing hydrostatic pressure behind structures
- Durability – long service life with minimal maintenance, galfan-coated
- Design flexibility – adaptable to different shapes, levels, and irregular ground conditions
- Visual integration – able to sit comfortably within both natural and urban environments
From an engineering perspective, gabions offer a proven and economical solution. From a design perspective, they provide texture, depth, and materiality that can be tuned to the context of the scheme. Terrock supports both perspectives.
A Practical, Project-Led Approach
We understand that for most professionals, materials are not specified in isolation. They sit within a wider set of constraints: ground conditions, programme, cost, buildability, and long-term performance.
That’s why our approach is practical and project-led.
We regularly support teams by:
- Advising on appropriate gabion configurations for specific applications
- Assisting with material selection to suit aesthetic and technical requirements
- Helping contractors and designers understand installation considerations early
- Providing clarity when a project sits between landscaping and civil engineering disciplines
Our aim is not to over-complicate specification, but to make it easier to arrive at a solution that works on paper and on site.
Design-Conscious, Not Design-Led
Terrock is not a design practice – but we are highly design-aware.
We recognise that materials increasingly need to perform technically while contributing to the overall architectural language of a project. Gabions are no longer hidden infrastructure; they are often deliberately exposed and celebrated.
As such, we pay close attention to:
- Stone type, size, and colour
- Basket proportions and layout and mesh size
- Integration with planting, hard landscaping, and adjacent materials
- How systems weather and age over time
This sensitivity makes our products particularly suited to projects where landscape, structure, and architecture intersect.
Supporting Specification and Delivery
For architects, technologists, and engineers, clarity is critical. Our role is to help reduce uncertainty around materials that may be unfamiliar or used infrequently.
We support teams through:
- Early conversations during concept or technical design stages
- Responding to specification queries and value engineering exercises
- Helping contractors source materials efficiently and consistently
- Ensuring continuity from design intent through to construction
For contractors, we focus on buildability, availability, and reliability, recognising the realities of programme pressure and site conditions.
UK-Focused, Industry-Aware
Terrock operates within the UK construction and landscaping market and understands the regulatory, environmental, and practical context in which projects are delivered.
We are familiar with:
- UK construction standards and expectations
- The realities of working across planning, technical approval, and delivery stages
- The collaboration required between disciplines on modern projects
Our role is not just to supply products, but to be a knowledgeable, responsive partner within the wider project team.
Why Work With Terrock Ltd?
Professionals choose to work with Terrock because we offer:
- Specialist focus on gabions and aggregates
- A clear understanding of both engineering and landscape requirements
- A practical, no-nonsense approach to specification and supply
- Materials that perform technically and contribute visually
- Support that respects the pressures faced by designers and contractors alike
We are not trying to be everything to everyone. We focus on doing a specific job well – and doing it in a way that supports good design and effective delivery.
Looking Ahead
As sustainability, resilience, and material efficiency become ever more important, gabion systems continue to offer a compelling solution. Their ability to combine structure, drainage, adaptability, and visual integration makes them increasingly relevant across many sectors.
Terrock Ltd is committed to supporting professionals who are shaping the built environment—whether that’s through infrastructure, landscape, architecture, or the spaces where these disciplines overlap.
If you are working on a project where ground, structure, and landscape need to work together, Terrock is ready to help. Give us a call and we’ll price up your plans today!
