If you didn't know better you would think you were looking at a photograph of an old farm in the country.

This is actually a new development that is just a few years old.

These types of walls ranging in length from 25 to 40 feet are strategically placed throughout the public areas. If you look closely you’ll notice the cap stones are actually mortared in place. Click on the picture above to get a larger image!

The coping on this wall is dry.

I'm not sure how long these walls will last. The "hearting" is nothing more than what appears to be screenings from the local quarry. As you can see there really isn't any batter to speak of.

These stones really work well in this type of application. They look much better than a concrete retaining wall ever would!

Stones add warmth and actually soften the landscape around the water features.
