What Are Dry Stone Walls?
Unlike conventional walls that rely on mortar or cement to hold them together, dry stone walls are constructed by carefully stacking stones without any binding material. The skill lies in selecting, placing, and interlocking stones so that they support one another, creating a robust and self-sustaining structure. This method has been used for centuries and remains one of the most reliable and aesthetically pleasing ways to build walls in gardens, farms, and estates.
Why Choose Dry Stone Walls?
Choosing dry stone walls for your landscape comes with several advantages:
Strength & Longevity – These walls can last for centuries, withstanding harsh weather and shifting ground.
Environmentally Friendly – Built with natural materials, dry stone walls require no cement or synthetic additives.
Aesthetic Appeal – Whether used for garden borders, retaining walls, or decorative features, they add a timeless charm to any outdoor space.
Wildlife-Friendly – The gaps between stones create microhabitats for insects, moss, and small mammals, contributing to local biodiversity.
Low Maintenance – Unlike wooden fences or brick walls, dry stone walls do not rot or crack and require minimal upkeep.
