Why You Should Ponder Stone, Rock Or Boulder Wall

A stone, rock or boulder wall is a great replacement for timber garden or retaining walls. There is very little expense associated with using stone over timber, but it has the added benefit of longevity. Once it’s built, it will be there forever, without rotting, and will stand the test of time. Timber walls last for approximately 10-20 years, however stone is forever. Another benefit of stone walls is that you don’t have to be concerned about weather changes or termites that might cause damage to the wall. That means for the same price you are getting something that is sturdy, lasts forever and is beautiful to look at!

Another benefit to working with us is that we use locally sourced stone. This is more eco-friendly than timber, since timber needs to be replaced every 10 years. We are proud to reduce the number of trees that need to be planted to meet the supply demand. We love stone because it is a once off use. This means you’re far less likely to invest money into the maintenance of the wall, or replace it entirely later on.
