How we approach the project
The visible wall is only one part of the job. The base, drainage, reinforcement and grading determine how well the wall performs over time.
Stone style and layout planning
Base and drainage preparation
Stone placement and fitting
Backfill/drainage integration
Cap/detail work and cleanup
Drainage is not optional here.
In Charlotte, heavy rain and clay soil can push hard against walls. That is why we focus on compacted base prep, clean stone, filter fabric, pipe outlets and grading that moves water away from the wall.
Stone Walls FAQs
Are stone retaining walls structural?
They can be, depending on design, height, stone type, base and drainage. Taller or load-bearing walls may need engineering.
Is natural stone more expensive than block?
Usually yes. Stone takes more material selection and craftsmanship, but it delivers a premium look and long-lasting landscape value.
What stone works best in Charlotte?
Fieldstone, granite-style stone, boulders and selected wall stone can all work depending on the design and site conditions.
