Retaining
Walls - Natural Stone A natural feel can
be obtained with landscape boulders or limestone. There has
been a huge demand from the commercial landscape industry for
natural stone products which tightens the supply and makes natural
products unreasonably priced for many residential customers.
The labor to install a retaining wall with natural products
is also quite high compared to other materials because every
piece of stone is different. It is very time consuming to piece
together boulders or limestone. However, if the customer is
willing to accept the cost, natural stone adds an extra touch
to the landscape and in some cases is the only product that
will work in certain astetic situations. Natural walls cannot
be built to the height of segmental unit walls or timber walls
due to the fact that you are just stacking materials. The only
thing holding the wall up is the actual weight of the block
itself. Limestone walls cannot be built much over 2-4' in height
due to this fact. Limestone
