Project:
Sandstone Ashlar Garden Wall
Category:

Stone:
Rectangular sandstone ashlar
Application:
Freestanding garden and privacy wall
Related service:
Warm sandstone laid in a random ashlar pattern makes a garden wall that looks at home in a landscaped yard. The sequence shows the wall rising course by course and the finished result with planting in front.
Freestanding walls rely on a proper footing and consistent bonding between courses, since there is no structure behind them to lean on. For materials, the installation process and price ranges, see our guide to stone retaining wall construction.
Key details:
A footing sized for the wall height is placed first.
Stones overlap the joints below so the wall acts as one mass.
The top course is finished to shed water.
