| Natural Stone: Natural Stone walls can be built in the same fashion as man made concrete wall stones. Walls may be dry stacked with quarry cut 6"-8" wide pieces of stone varying from 2"-6" thick. Outcropping stone are large pieces 2'-3' wide, 2'-3' long or more and 3"-12" thick and are commonly used in ponds, as accents in garden beds and used to help retain soil on slopes. Prices, colors and uniformity depend on the exact stone choice used. We urge our clients interested in Natural Stone to visit one of our local suppliers. |
