Palette of color

Warm rust, honey, cream, Dijon.....The range of color in the limestone available is part of the charm. It is affordable enough to bring your vision to life. Perhaps a ribbon of this beautiful stone trailing across acres of land. Not taming or separating, but allowing nature to dictate its' path. This small grouping of trees prompted the builder to ease the shape around the trunks, not disturbing them, but adding to its' organic flow.

Friends at the wall

The deer on our property seem to like the wall. They lay down next to it, put their fawns in the shelter of it, and show us their gazelle jumps over it. This buck stopped to give me a portrait.

Large stones can play too!

By using large boulders, dry stacked, you too can get that Flintstones look. The owner of this wall brought these large boulders from the back of his property to define his driveway and the

front of his lot. This wall is not going anywhere.

Clearing the stone

Dry stack fans from other areas have asked about what kind of stone is available here in Central Texas. With shallow topsoil, and scrub cedar trees steeling most the water, the limestone is visible and plentiful. Early Texas settlers clearing their homestead land used this loose and plentiful stone to make animal pens and mark off their land.

We like to look for walls that incorporate the honeycomb limestone in amongst the thick white limestone blocks. Softer white quarried limestone is easily chunked into shapes and pieces that lend themselves to the art of fitting the stones together in a tight and sturdy structure.

Lean on me

Large stones accenting the small

These large stones reminds one of the Neolithic stones in Ireland and Britian. They act as a support stone, and breaks up the continuous small stack to make a dramatic impact. It invites you to take time to inspect the large stones, reflecting on what the builder might have considered when choosing it.

Graceful lines across acres

The beautiful serpentine lines of this low wall, welcomes one into the property even before there are any signs that there is a home over the hill. This perfectly laid low wall makes use of the hill country limestone, freshly quarried, with the warm rust tones of iron deposits.
