At South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Peachtree City, Atlanta, Newnan, Sharpsburg, and Senoia, we want to help you decide if you want a stacked stone wall or a stone wall built with mortar.
Walls with mortar
They are ideal to avoid erosion of the soil by water or wind. Also as a barrier at the top of a slope. The wall with the mortar can withstand the pressure from behind, up and down. You must make sure to build your wall with mortar on a firmly compacted soil base reinforced with gravel for drainage. This type of walls can be built up to 16 feet high.
Walls without mortar
These walls must be built by choosing the stones well for a good connection between them. When the soil is pressed against the back of the wall, it forces the stones closer to those of the lower layer. Build walls without mortar, with a soil embankment on one side, no more than 48 inches high. The mortar-free walls must be a maximum of 28 inches high. For better stability, you should use plastic-coated geogrid mesh between the stones at any other level on these walls.
It is always advisable to have the opinion of specialists to tell you what type of wall you should contact.
