You must've been taught really well it takes along time to make this look easy I've been taught by a master mason and have done some really impressive jobs out of natural stone. And it amazes me to see other artists work since we are a dying trade in younger generations I'm 23 yrs old but been doing this since I could literally walk great videos brother keep up that good work 👊👍

@HardscapeCanada Год назад

Love it Tyson you are the next generation to take this timeless trade into a truly modern era! Get it young man!

Beautiful work mate. I'm in South Wales in the UK, and in clearing decades of debris and digging up my back garden to return it to a blank canvass, I've unearthed a tonne of buried natural stone, with which I'm going to attempt to create a retaining wall, so this amazing demonstration is the sort of thing I was looking for.

It all depends on your type of local rock. I would ask your local delivery outfit what they typically deliver for local landscapers!

@jonathanvillegas1842 Год назад

also, so these walls don't require a footing I've seen some where they build a footing.

@HardscapeCanada Год назад

Yes it depends on the style, this type of natural stone wall is built 1/2 as wide as it is tall, and on load bearing clay or 6” of compacted road base, so it virtually becomes its own footing. For larger scale walls 4’ + I would typically pour a concrete footing. This stone is a mix of basalt and granite.

@JayFolipurba Год назад

In the last 10 years or so, people have started building these disgusting "stone walls" around where I live. It's just loose rubble in a chicken wire cage. It's like: you had the materials, you could have made something nice, but instead it's so ugly, just rubble in a square wire prison, pure shape without structure. And it's especially bad because I live in a city with 100 year old ACTUAL stone walls and they just look right, which makes the no-effort modern ones even uglier.

@aubads 2 года назад

Nice stone. Length into the wall. Smallest end out with least realestate showing will last longest. Veneer stone with large faces outward is quick but has challenges with strength and aesthetic. Eg thin corner stones... Just a comment.

This is great! I have a lot of shale/shale-like stone on my property. How would that work for building a stone wall, and what unique considerations might there be?

@HardscapeCanada 5 месяцев назад

Interesting! Shale can be tricky, you will have to be careful to lay the stone so that the layers/grain is level to the earth for max strength. Everything depends on the strength and quality of your specific stone!

Hey mate , great videos you have created. How would I best prepair the area if I build a dome? String won't work I assume. What else could I do the mark . Cheers to you

@frantisek_heca Год назад

Please, can I easily join nearly any stone format, only chiseling the front flat face, but not care about the other sides and fill the gaps with a lot of mortar? Sorry for the stupid question, but I am beginner and started to watch your videos first and I am not sure if this is the only way, or if this is the best way with minimum mortar? And the other (less work) way will also work, but there will be aesthetically lot of mortar, right?

@jonathanvillegas1842 Год назад

is this a wall strong enought for people to sit and kids to walk on ? what type of rock is that ?

@HardscapeCanada Год назад

Yes but it depends on how wide of a wall you build, and if the base prep has been done correctly as well. You can cap a wall like this with a concrete or stone slab that would be great for sitting etc

Did you use a NHL3.5 lime mortar?

@jimbojackson2900 Год назад

How would this be achieved with rounded stones?

@HardscapeCanada Год назад

With a river rock or round fieldstone you would build the same way, however stone selection will be key. You will need a lot of various sizes to pick from, and will have to take care and time to fit them as nicely together as possible. Then we would use mortar as a jointing to seal up the visible seams between the rocks.

@jimbojackson2900 Год назад

@@HardscapeCanada so it would be okay to split the rock and shape it with chisels like you did here? Or should they be left as is? Thank you!

@HardscapeCanada Год назад

Most of the time we keep round stones intact instead of chiselling so it has a round appearance. You could chip away at the portions of the stone that won’t be visible to help them fit.

I'm guessing this is the kind of thing that pros make look easy? I would like to build a timbered house with a stone foundation someday, so I'm curious- how do you know the wall can hold up an entire house? Once the stones are mortared together, is it pretty much as strong as concrete?

@diveinnjim 2 года назад

how would you lay the first stone you dressed? I'm sure you would need to put a flat base on it so it would sit squarely on your wall, as it is it would simply slip off...

@HardscapeCanada 2 года назад

Hey Jim that’s a very good question. Yes this stone will likely need to have the sharper angle chopped back so to sits flat, otherwise it could definitely slip out when laying it and make it very challenging to work with.
