Stone retaining walls in Boone NC

4/28/2011

We had great weather today and were able to work on our tans, which is always a plus!  I made good progress in capping the wall, but we were slowed down by a feature of this project.  The owner requested part of the wall rise above grade so the stonework would be visible from the driveway.  The challenge here was to transition from a retaining wall to a 2-sided wall.

Here Josh demonstrates a "through stone", which is a stone that extends to both sides of a 2-sided wall. Through stones add strength to a wall and help them to last for many years.
