Tips for Stone Walls in your patio

To improve the appearance of your landscape you must choose the best materials, location, and method. At South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Atlanta and Florida, we give you four tips that you can keep in mind when deciding to renovate your yard:

1. Choose the right materials:

If you are confused about which materials you need to buy, you should analyze the different types of stone and the best applications for each. Cast-concrete blocks, round fieldstone, and stone veneer may be good choices.

2. Choose the location wisely:

One smart option is to build a stone wall that does double-duty, serving as a patio or garden border and extra backyard seating. For a uniform look around a patio, you can use cast concrete blocks.

Another choice is using stone to build a retaining wall to help level your landscape. 

3. Tool-Mortared Joints:

Freestanding-mortared walls built correctly can last a lifetime because mortar holds the stones together and creates a strong wall. However, messy mortar isn't as visually appealing as the dry-laid look. The best would be to choose a mortar with a dark gray pigment and trowels the joints between the capstones.

4. Renovate plain Wall:

Stone-veneer panels offer an easy way to get the look of a stone wall, without the heavy lifting. The panels look like stacked natural stone and enable you to transform an exposed foundation, bare cinder block, concrete, or framed walls in one weekend.
