Asheville landscaping: Dry Stone Walling

We have been working hard this week to complete a natural stone, dry stacked retaining wall. 


Dry stone walling is an ancient craft. Some say it dates back to more than 5000 B.C. 
This is a picture of a dry stacked wall in Peru, laid by the Incan people.

Dry stone walling is a technique that requires no concrete or mortar. The stone is stacked tightly together and gets strength from the connection each stone has with each other.

A properly built dry stacked wall can last for hundreds of years. 

Below is a video from the landscaping and dry stone walling project we just completed. We used a Moria Ledger stone that was capped with an Autumn Flame Select stone for this wall.
