Fallen, bulging or leaning stone, set right again.
Dry-stack and mortared stone walls rebuilt, rebedded and repointed, with fallen stones reset, bulges corrected and drainage restored behind the wall.
- Walls: Dry-stack and mortared fieldstone, limestone and more
- Repairs: Reset stones, repoint, rebuild sections
- Drainage: Gravel and drains added behind the wall where possible
What it is, and why it matters.
Stone walls move as the ground freezes, thaws and shifts. Stones fall out, sections bulge and mortar crumbles, and water pressure behind a wall can push it over. Early repair is much cheaper than rebuilding a collapsed section.
We repair stone walls, retaining walls and foundations for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. Dry-stacked walls are rebuilt with their own stones, while mortared walls are repointed and rebedded with a mortar suited to the stone.
Four things done right.
Their own stones reused
We save and reuse the original stones so the repair matches.
The cause addressed
Drainage, roots and settlement are looked at, so the wall does not fail again.
A bond that holds
Stones are set so each one bridges the joint below, with through-stones for strength.
Mortar that suits stone
Mortared walls get a mix that does not harm the stone.

Stone Wall Repair: common questions
Can a leaning stone wall be saved?
Often yes, if the base is sound. We take down the leaning section and rebuild it, with better drainage behind it, so the wall is stable again.
Why do dry-stacked walls fall?
Frost, roots, water pressure and missing through-stones are the usual causes. Fixing the drainage and the structure is as important as resetting the stones.
