Dry-Stacking

Dry-stacking is a masonry technique in which stones or bricks are stacked without the use of mortar. The stability of the structure is achieved through the careful selection and placement of each stone or brick to create a tight fit. This technique is commonly used in the construction of retaining walls, garden walls, and decorative features. Dry-stacking offers several advantages, including flexibility in design, easy adjustments, and a natural aesthetic that blends well with the landscape. Because it does not require mortar, dry-stacking is also an eco-friendly option and allows for better drainage in retaining walls, reducing the risk of water buildup and erosion.
