Project:
Dry-Stacked Stone Terrace Walls and Steps
Category:
Stone Retaining Walls
Stone:
Thin-bedded dry-stack stone
Application:
Terrace walls, planters and steps
Related service:
Layered, thin-bedded stone is stacked into low terrace walls, planters and steps around a backyard deck. The horizontal texture of the stone gives the yard a calm, layered look.
Dry-stacked walls rely on careful stone placement and a good base instead of mortar, which also lets water drain through. For materials, the installation process and price ranges, see our guide to stone retaining wall construction.
Key details:
A trench is dug and filled with compacted gravel.
Stones are laid with a slight lean back into the slope.
Larger flat stones finish the top and form the treads.
Photos are shown to illustrate this type of stonework. They are not presented as work performed by East West Stone, and the project location is not disclosed.
