From Wissahickon schist walls in Mount Airy to bluestone garden borders in Rittenhouse Square, we build walls designed for Philadelphia's specific challenges. Our dry-stack technique in Chestnut Hill allows proper drainage to prevent winter ice damage, while mortared walls along Kelly Drive incorporate hidden rebar for added stability.
We source stone from regional quarries like the historic Chester County operations that originally supplied materials for Philadelphia's landmarks. Each project includes geotextile backfill to prevent soil washout during heavy rains.
