Building Stone Walls

John Vivian

"If you stop and think about it, it seems that, written word aside, the most enduring monuments to our creativity and hard work are built of stone."

"So, here's how to go out and build a really permanent monument to yourself. Do it right, square and plumb and well-tied throughout, and the wall will be standing long after you and I and all our other accomplishments and failings are forgotten."

Learn about wall foundations, basic "one-over-two method, chinking "in" or "out", height-to-width formula, retaining walls, gates, fences, and stiles.

With excellent illustrations, this "all wall" book tells you how to put that rock wall you've always wanted in your landscape. Vivian's clear explanations cover equipment requirements, instructions for creating wall foundations and coping with drainage problems.

A review in Country Journal states, "John Vivian's instructions are the next best thing to having a real old-time expert working alongside.
