Stacked Stone Walls
The almost "lost art" of hand-cutting and fitting each piece of stone into a Stacked Stone Wall, is alive and well, at our Garden Center & Nursery. We have two levels of Stacked Stone Walls: Basic Stacked Stone, and Hand-Cut & Faced Stacked Stone. We use no mortar, since friction and gravity hold our walls together, and they will last into eternity with zero maintenance. From the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast, these historic stacked stone walls have endured weather, civil wars and generations of neglect, but are now being meticulously-restored at great effort and expense. Whichever level of our walls you choose, rest assured each is a custom-built, one-of-a-kind, warranteed for life, Work of Art which will endure far beyond mere mortals, and speak volumes to your family, friends and guests.

No, this isn't beachfront property, but it boasts of some of the most extensive stonework — Stacked Stone Walls, Boulder Wall, massive double Boulder Steps Staircase, dry stream bed and Garden Stepper Path — we've done on one property.
