A stone garden / retaining wall can impart a sense of privacy and intimacy, outline an outdoor dining room or seating area, and add structure and flow to the landscape. Garden walls can be constructed from a wide variety of stone types, from natural-looking field stone to sophisticated bluestone slabs.
