Stone Walls:

A well built stonewall stands quietly as an enduring testament to the care, patience, and hard work of its creator.  When built correctly, a dry laid stonewall can stand the test of centuries. With this in mind, stone walls can take many different shapes and have numerous purposes.  While there are many different types of walls and stone to use in those walls, each can become a fine display of good stone masonry.

Retaining walls are a large segment of dry laid and mortared stonewalls.  Their purpose can be as simple as containing a small flower garden or as grand a task as supporting a large parapet.  The choice of stone for a retaining wall can greatly affect its appearance and its longevity.  The team at Colonial Stoneworks has the skills to lead you through the process of selecting the stone, style, and system you will need to achieve the look and/or function you need.  

Freestanding stone walls are also very common.  Stones cleared from fields often became walls marking land boundaries and walls to enclose fields.  Many of these walls can be seen and enjoyed today, running through the woods, long ago grown up from the fields that were once cleared.  

Stonewalls are limited only by your imagination.  If you can dream it, we can build it.
