Wall and Steps

Weathered Bluestone

 

          Dry stone construction of a long retaining wall and steps to the rear garden entrance of a yard in Glen Ridge, New Jersey provides an attractive, as well as, functional face.   The owners reclaimed more than 1,500 square feet of level lawn and garden space from the original sloped ground.  The wall is capped with large cut slate rectangles.   Weathered bluestone was selected because it matched the historic slate sidewalks and gaslights that are preserved in this community.  

 

          The retaining wall is approximately sixty feet long and averages four feet in height.   Backfill of subsoil and topsoil was used to bring the ground up to the level of the wall.   Drainage was installed.   This wall required about eighteen pallets of stones and several months to construct.   The approximate cost for such a project is in the range of $ 16,500. - 26,000.
