  If you live in a cold climate, you'll really appreciate how well your System Pavers driveway performs in wintery conditions. Due to the sleek even surface of our driveways you'll have no dilemma in getting rid of the snow rapidly. Unlike other material including bricks ad concrete our pavers can resist the impact of snow fall and various chemicals involve in snow melting. When the snow starts to melt, moisture can drain down into the soil between the pavers. There's no shifting or breaking, so harsh winter conditions won't result in costly repairs. Another paver stone benefit is a non-stick, non-slip surface. This thing will help you to move or drive on wet conditions easily.
  
  You can enjoy the same level of durability with your stone walls as you get in case of brick walls. You can find a lot of stone walls standing still even after passing thousands of years. Stone walls have been around since people first started building, and they haven't gone out of style yet. This example is enough to accept them perfect at physical and aesthetic level. ephenry.com/walkways.aspx
  
  Types of Stones
  
  Stones are either rough or finished. Rough stones carry no shape or style at all. But finishing stones are perfectly shaped to be used as brick.
  
  Variations of Stone Walls
  
  There are two types of stone walls: dry and mortared. The dry stone walls usually rely upon the force of friction between its stones to stand still. These stones are placed in a overlapping fashion to make a single unit of stable wall of loose stones. Mortared walls fill in the gaps between the stones with cement, basically turning the wall into one solid unit.
  
  Building a Dry Stone Wall
  
  
  Other than the heavy lifting, a dry stone wall is easy to build. First, a trench is dug where the wall is going to be. It must be wider than the original wall. Then gravel is filled in the trench to make the foundation. While using rough stone place larger one to cover the gravel and then use smaller ones to fill the gap. Repeat the process for every single layer. Make sure that gaps are filled properly in order to make stable walls indeed. When using finished stone, this process is quite simple. Finished stone is, however, significantly more expensive and lacks the rustic look of rough stone.
  
  Make Your Mortared Stone Wall www.ephenry.com/wall-systems.aspx
  
  If you are working with mortar then it's an art and a skill as well. Lifetime effort can make you perfect in this art. Those who are up for the challenge, in spite of this, will realize that constructing a thing of like permanence brings a sense of accomplishment which could almost never be matched.
  
  This type of wall will require a concrete foundation. You just have to wait until the concrete sets and then have to place a layer of wet mortar in order to embed stones into it. After this step, place mortar onto the stone and make another layer of stones over it in a fashion which can assure that gaps are being filled properly.
