Project:
River Rock Porch Columns and Outdoor Fireplace
Category:
Outdoor Fireplaces
Stone:
Rounded river rock
Application:
Porch columns, knee walls and outdoor fireplace
Related service:
Rounded river rock covers porch columns, knee walls and a full outdoor fireplace on this covered porch. The repeating stone ties the whole outdoor living area together.
River rock is laid differently from flat ledgestone: the rounded shapes need more mortar contact and careful placement to look natural.
Key details:
Rocks are sorted by size so larger stones sit low.
Each rock is bedded so it sits flat to the wall rather than projecting.
Joints are raked back so the rounded faces stand out.
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.
