We have reached the finish line with our boulder retaining walls in Dysartsville, and our next project is a chimney repair in Chattanooga. This is the perfect time of year to head to warmer climates as the picture below (of my house) shows.
I have some more photos from our last project, but the thing about drystone walls is they only look better with age. The best time to get photos of these walls will be in 5+ years when the landscaping and gardening fills in and the walls with develop a patina of lichen and moss.
These drystone steps are under construction in this photo. The gravel footing will allow the stone to settle evenly and provides excellent drainage, while costing a fraction of a concrete footing.
The back fabric will be folded over the rubble backfill and covered with topsoil then planted with perennials.
