Thank you!

I'm a total beginner trying to learn as much as I can before I tackle building some garden walls in my yard. I'm just curious, when you say in the title that this is a dry stone wall, why do you also use mortar/cement? I thought dry stone meant stone only?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Hello. The curve of the wall is true dry stone and the cladding is with mortar. Thanks for watching!

[@curmudgeoniii9762]

How much did all this stone cost? If you don't mind.

[@J.HarveyStonework]

£145 + VAT per tonne I think, but I was sub-contracting on this job.

[@michaelle-baigue2751]

Why did you decide to not block wall behind the curved section? Will that be the self-drain?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Yes and also because that is the dry stone section. Would not be true if it had block behind it. Thank you for watching! 👍

[@plainsimple442]

Is there any batter on the wall face?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

Yes on the curve, and just slight on the cladding 👍

[@shawncheney1496]

When to use mortar and not?

[@J.HarveyStonework]

That is the question 👍
