DRY STACKED STONE WALLS
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Curves should be as large as possible to eliminate jagged curves. Smaller pieces should be used around curves. Larger pieces will create flat spots on the curve and the set backs from one course to the next will not be even.
A.
Lay out wall to the lines and grades indicated on the drawings. Use the string line and stakes to mark off any straight portions and marking paint to draw out any curves.
B.

H.
Progressively backfill the wall with the drainage aggregate after each two or three courses are stacked. Prior to backfilling, lay the geo-textile fabric on the soil behind the wall, and place the drainage aggregate between the wall and the fabric.
