Natural stone has long been a staple for building walls. SETP provides guidance and advice on the optimal use of stone for landscape masonry.

In urban landscaping, walls not only structure the space but also serve various functional purposes such as enclosures, retaining barriers, parapets, and planters.

Whether building a dry-stone wall or engaging in traditional masonry, there are numerous techniques available. It is crucial to select the appropriate stone type for your specific project.

Implementations can range from creating copings, capping, and pillars for traditional walls, to cladding in rubble or veneer. Solid stone is also employed in crafting planters, parapets, and small walls.

Comblanchien, Ruoms and Belgian Blue stones are ideal due to their density and low porosity, making them perfect for constructing walls, copings, or pillars.

A broad selection of finishes is available, from traditional bush-hammered and chiselled to more contemporary styles like flamed or honed, allowing for significant customisation.
