The concept of dry stone walls has been around since agriculture began. No mortar, just gravity. Dry stone walls don’t interfere with the natural drainage of the site.
The beauty of a stone wall is softened by moss and lichen. The stones look worn and weathered, but they still stand firm. The texture of the stones is a testament to the strength of the structure.
Stone walls are a type of masonry that has been used for centuries to create strong and durable barriers. Today, they are often used as decorative features in gardens and landscapes.
They’re also low cost and low maintenance. You can travel the world and bump into dry stone (also called a dry stack) anywhere surface rocks are found. They’re as popular today as they ever were. All you need is a source of stones and some enthusiasm.
The natural beauty of stone can be used to create harmony between the man-made elements of a landscape design and the natural surroundings. Alternatively, stone can be used to create a focal point or feature, such as a cairn.
Stone walls are not only a beautiful and unique addition to any home, but they can also be functional. While most people think of stone walls as being used for outdoor projects, they can actually be used indoors as well.
They can be used to create indoor privacy screens, and partition rooms, or even create a unique and stylish headboard. If you’re looking for a stone wall project that’s a little more challenging, you can use them to build a fireplace surround or an accent wall.
Whether you use them for indoor or outdoor projects, they’re sure to add a touch of beauty and charm to your home.
You can also use them as a low retaining wall for your flower bed, as outdoor seating, as a fire pit, as a garden centrepiece or as a water feature. The possibilities are limited only by imagination.
