Cinder Block and Mortared Stack Stone Wall Transforms a Hill Into a Waterfall and Beautiful Landscaped Setting at the Owner's Home in Woodstock, Georgia.

Stone Walls are not only the most elegant, but the longest lasting.  While they are more expensive than wood or modular block, the extra cost is justified when the investment is spread over the life of the home.  When you consider that a wood wall will need to be torn down, hauled off and replaced in 20 years, a stone wall is actually less expensive over time.

Stone walls can be dry stacked, stacked and mortared, or used to surface a cinder block or concrete wall.  The beauty and long life of the stone wall contribute greatly to the value of the home and the owner's satisfaction. Stone walls should always be installed on concrete footings.  Walls in excess of 3' should have a gravel drainage system installed behind the wall.
