So keep watching, make sure to give this video a thumbs up if you've enjoyed it and share it with your friends. Hello everyone and welcome to DecorPuzzle. Today we'll be talking about choosing rocks for building stone walls. A stone wall can be a beautiful asset to your landscape, but building one requires research, planning and patience. The first decision you need to make is whether you want a dry laid, also called dry stone or dry stacking wall, or a mortared wall. Meaning whether your wall will be built only of stacked stone or whether you will use mortar in its construction. This decision will influence the shape and sizes of the rocks used in your wall. Whichever type of wall you choose to build, the stone selection is crucial to the beauty and functionality of your wall. Selecting the right stone for your project will be impacted by availability, the location of your wall and your own preferences. Dry laid or mortared walls Deciding whether to build a dry laid or mortared wall is important because it underlies every planning decision you subsequently make. A mortared wall requires a footing, usually embedded several inches into the ground, for stability. Mortared walls can be easier to build than dry laid walls because the mortar holds the stone together, which creates a more forgiving tableau when placing stones. The stones you select for your wall can be almost any size and shape, since the wall's structural integrity will not depend on them. Further, you can build a wall of almost any height. Dry laid stone walls, however, can be easier to maintain in the long run. If the ground shifts or damage to the wall occurs, you can simply rebuild it using the same stones. Further, they can be less costly to build since they don't require a concrete base, footing and mortar materials. Dry laid stone walls are generally not higher than 4 feet. So the purpose of your wall will be a consideration here. They should be, however, built from stones that have flat faces and square or rectangular shapes. Round stones will be more difficult to fit and layer without the addition of mortar. Types of Stones The most typical stones for constructing walls are sandstone, limestone, granite and fieldstone. In addition, concrete blocks designed to look like natural stones can make an effective stone wall. Sandstone and Limestone Sandstone and limestone range in colours from white to shades of tan and grey. These stones can be cut in irregular or irregular shapes or even as veneer, in which case a stone wall would be backed by concrete. Granite Granite is a durable and solid stone that is usually quarried into large, rectangular shapes, easy to use in a rock wall. It comes in a variety of colours including white, pink or grey, depending on its maker. Some landscapers sell reclaimed granite, often from old European city streets. This type of granite features an old, realistic patina. Fieldstone Fieldstone is usually more rounded compared to quarried stone, which is freshly broken. Because your vendor is likely to get fieldstone locally, it's usually less expensive than other stones that need to be transported. This type of stone varies greatly of course, and can range in size from huge boulders to hand-sized rocks. Concrete Man-made concrete stones can make attractive walls, and some are manufactured with rough, natural-looking edges to simulate natural rock. Concrete stones are uniform in size, so they are not only less expensive than natural stones, but also easier to work with. Look and feel Have an idea or an image of how you hope your stone wall will look. Do you imagine an old and weathered, big and bulky, smooth and elegant? Old and weathered rock can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as textures and colours. Some stones just look old naturally. Some stones may be reclaimed from old stone walls or buildings. Some stones have been laying in fields and exposed to the elements for a long time. If you like the old and weathered look, check your local stoneyard. Rocks that are big and blocky give the appearance of strength and sturdiness. Rocks that are relatively square and rectangular are easy to fit together, which means your wall may go together faster if you use more irregularly shaped or round rocks. You can build a stone wall with all big and blocky stones, or you can mix them with smaller stones. Mix and match When building a stone wall, you aren't limited to using a single kind of rock. For example, your stone wall can be built with a large variety of rocks. There can be large types, small types, flat types, round types, and irregularly shaped types. All these varieties add visual interest to the stone wall. Not only can this option be beautiful, but it also can save you money. By mixing rock types, you can use rocks from different sources. You can find leftover stones from construction sites, stones for sale online, or discounted stones at stoneyards.
