There’s beauty in creating a wall from a pile of stones and knowing, if done right, it will stand the test of time. Building dry-stone walls is an ancient practice, providing a practical solution to making terraces and raised garden beds or shoring up slopes. The natural finish of the stones visually complements most landscapes.
Stone wall construction is like fitting together a giant, three-dimensional jigsaw. The pieces are very heavy, so take your time and look after your back.
A good-looking, stable wall depends on stone selection. Choose square, chunky stones as jigsaw together better than round or oval shapes. The best walls have minimal gaps. Use different-sized stones for different parts of the wall. You can buy them at landscape supply centers. Select base stones about 300-350mm long, wall stones about 250-300mm long, and capstones or headstones about 200mm long.
