Daggett Wall

These walls are made of a local stone from Daggett Mountain. It’s a fun material, lending itself to interesting fits and the opportunity to work a bit more freely, less reliant on the level. A low fire pit projects forward from the retaining wall.

There is a freestanding wall that separates the driveway from the patio that is set with mortar. There is also a retaining wall that leans against the bank, where the fire pit is nestled. That wall is laid dry. 

The two walls intersect at a boulder, that was already on site but needed to be relocated. You might notice that the patio is two toned. In the foreground is an existing mortared walkway that the owner didn’t care to replace. We took out a couple of stones so that our new patio could be connected to that walkway. As the stone weathers it will blend together.
