Rising stone writes that “Our stonework is tight. We use no mortar. In size and proportion, they are perfect examples of what a retaining wall should be. In our photos we do not see the majority of the stones used. This wall is four feet high. It is also four feet wide and fifty feet long. It will be here long after all of us. It is a part of the geological record.” But:

• ‘four feet wide’ is an extravagant use of stone
• the work is not well done: (1) the faces of the stones are not well aligned (2) the coursing is not well aligned (3) many of the the small packing stones look as though they are not locked into the construction and will fall out

This  is a pity: well-built drystone walling can be very beautiful.
