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.
