You should never limit yourself to the creativity of building a wall. I have seen many people build walls just from the materials from their local area. I built a wall in front of my own property over 160 ft. long and nearly 3 feet high with rocks I collected over a period of a few years.

Rocks can come from the local area for free, or even a farmers field. You can purchase them from your local stone yard, or collect them from leftover projects. This wall below has a mixture of fieldstone, landscaping blocks, and even some flagstone.

A mixed wall using a variety of stones is a little more challenging to assemble. This is where your puzzle building skills come in handy.

A low fieldstone wall is a great way to dress up a home with a sloping front yard. You can tell by the way these stones were so tightly fitted that it was built with great skill.

Single large stone blocks are an easy way to make a raised garden bed on a small slope. These stones have tons of character with a weathered facing.

Fieldstone walls built with weathered stones have tons of appeal. this wall has been mortared in the back to make it appear like a dry stacked wall.

Walls add character and interest all year long. This wall will be softened up as the newly planted bed in front, fills in over the next couple of years.

Fieldstone walls can look good when they are tight with no gaps, or
left to have more of a rubble wall appearance like this.
