Dry Stack Wall right on Ground?
Comments (1)Hey Ken. Same state, same question! Mine will be about 15" h x 15' long and will be using stacking stone. Mind if I ask if you recall how deep you dug your trench the first time and how many inches of crushed stone you used. Did you also backfill with stone and if so, how deep and tall? Thanks and good luck!...See Moredry stacked raised bed with stone
Comments (1)Well first off, you're going to need to level out the ground somehow if you want to put a solid foundation of stone. Use a pick axe or something or hire someone stronger to dig into the roots. Then get large stones and place them level on the ground. Otherwise it won't work (unless you just want a one course wall).

Comments (2)Building a dry stacked wall to run along a driveway. It will only be 20" high but it's on an incline. Most of what I read says to create steps when building on an incline but this is 200' long and about 25% incline so it would be stepped almost every 5 feet to maintain level and still have 20" hieight. Is it required to step or can a dry stacked low wall just sit in the natural incline?...See Moreunusual dry stack wall - looking for advice
Comments (2)Here's a link to the website of the Dry Stone Wall Association of Canada. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but there are a lot of pictures of dry stacked stone walls. Making them a little wider shouldn't be a problem. Here is a link that might be useful: Dry Stone Wall Association of Canada...See Morekarinl
