Stone Wall questions, answered

What's the difference between dry-stack and mortared walls?

Dry-stack uses no mortar — the wall holds itself together through stone selection and gravity. Mortared walls use mortar between stones for rigid construction. Both have their place; we'll recommend based on use case and aesthetic.

Can you match an existing historic stone wall?

Yes. We sort through fieldstone yards and quarries to match color, texture, and weathering. For mortared walls we can custom-tint mortar to match aged joints.

How long does a stone wall last?

A properly built dry-stack wall lasts 100+ years with minimal maintenance. Mortared walls typically last 60+ years before needing repointing.
