Briarlake-Backyard Hardscape

A fun project here-I love working with stone. This is a 2 phase job that started with the construction of a dry stack capstone wall approx. 65' x 18". Only the cap run was mortared, as we wanted both the look of the dry stack and the permeability for drainage. A problem grass area was then converted to a river gravel "patio" that meets up with a dry creek bed I installed last year. Planting on the bank above the wall will take place in the next couple of weeks (you can see all the ivy/weeds have been sprayed and removed), along with some repair stone work to the old stone walkway and steps.
