Hammering large pieces of granite into building blocks has been a part of New England's history for hundreds of years. These blocks were used to build railroad trestles, bridges, sea walls, cellar foundations and as the walls of many early American industrial buildings. As these structures are retired from service, Stone Farm harvests their beautiful blocks and re-purposes them for many different applications.
The sizes and weights of these large stone wall blocks make them ideal when building a retaining wall or sea wall. Sometimes their shapes also lends itself naturally to not only act as a retaining wall, but as a seat wall. It is becoming more common to see individual pieces scattered throughout parks and rail trails, serving as a perfect stone bench!
