The typical stone wall is made of large stones forming the backbone with many smaller stones used as a filler material. Although one of the most durable and attractive types of wall to look at, building a stone wall involves hard work. A handsome natural stone retaining wall adds beauty and value to both commercial and residential property. It is true that an experienced builder can readily build the "perfect" stone wall -and it will last forever.

If the wall is to be no more than 4-feet high, you will be able to use stones about 1-foot wide. That will make your retaining wall about 1-foot thick. Next, we will visit several stone dealers to see the various types, colors and materials available that best suit your landscape plan. There are granites, limestones, sandstones, quartzites, flagging, and other specialty ledge type stones that will suit the purpose. Our local stone dealer can offer you recommendations and suggestions. Remember, stone is heavy. (It lasts forever). Don't get discouraged when your stone dealer talks about price per ton of various stones. |
