Drystack Stone Wall
This was some stone work we did for a customer last year. The architect had us tear down a 100 year old 200 ft long wall and then had a reinforced concrete retaining wall built in its place and then we veneered it with the same stone after cutting the stone to 6" depth. We installed cap after these photos were taken.

Re: Drystack Stone Wall
200 feet long?? Wow, how long did it take?
Do you have a cavity between the 6" veneer and the concrete wall? |

Re: Drystack Stone Wall
It's mesmerizing looking at that wall. It looks fantastic to my untrained eye. Always admire and respect you guys who do this for a living.

We did the job under tarp during winter. I took us approx. three weeks for three quys, and one week for cap not shown in pics. No cavity, but 12" poured concrete wall behind. |

Re: Drystack Stone Wall
Tommy, this is really sweet work. Any tricks to speeding up the process of cutting the veneer from the original stones? This is a really nice post.
