Dry stone is one of the oldest types of construction and utilizes friction and physics to keep everything together. Because every stone is placed with structure in mind, it is the most durable type of stonework. Dry stone also adjusts to frost heave and settling over the years while maintaining it's strength, which is particularly useful in our Canadian climate. Want to learn about dry stone?
