Yard in front of house has a downward slope away from the house. It
averages about 1" per foot, more slope as it goes away from the house.
The fence is about 30' away from the house. I do not want the lawn down
to the fence. Decided on a retaining wall about 20' away from the house
in front allowing about 1/4" per foot slope away from the house.
I've used up all the surface limestone rocks on my property for other
things. Too hot for a rock bar to dig up more. Looking for some flat
type rock I can mortar up and lay for a retaining wall. Need about 60'
length retaining wall.
Where do I get such stone?
Do I have to pour concrete as a base for this wall?


Daniel Stone Supply would have it if you out southwest or anywhere near.
If you're buying a whole truckload (12 tons or so) you can make a deal
with some of the quarries and save some money. I'm sure stone prices are
up along with diesel fuel.

Google don't ring no bells on "Daniel Stone Supply". Wimberley is as
southwest as one can get in the region.
