Applications: Stone Walls Location: Connecticut
This residential stone wall project in western Connecticut used over 1,200 tons of Boston Blend Flat, Regular Round, and Large Round Wallstone, gathered from New England farms and fields. The 54 truckloads of material created approximately 18,000 cubic feet of coverage, and was completed by Brian Post of Standing Stone, LLC.
The stone walls are the first phase of the project, serving both as accent walls for the orchards and delineation for different areas like fields, woods, and orchards.
The construction of the walls is unique, featuring a mix of traditional horizontal laying and vertical stone placement. Some walls use vertical stones for the cap to prevent animals from walking along the top, while others feature a mix of horizontal and vertical laying to create a unique aesthetic. These varied construction methods add visual interest and functionality to the project.
This project highlights the adaptability and elegance of natural stone walls. By utilizing local New England Fieldstone and a variety of construction methods, the walls offer both visual appeal and practical functionality, improving the overall landscape design while preserving the natural surroundings.
NOTE: Stoneyard Boston Blend is also available in thin stone veneer and building veneer.
