What
Kind of Rock Makes a Good Wall?
Dry stacked (con't)
| These two walls contain large (1/2 to 2 tons)
boulders trucked to the site and set using heavy equipment.
Both walls are sloped back onto the hillside and thus the stones
are in part held up by the hillside itself. Such walls work
well for erosion control. |

| The left wall is built of angular
limestone blocks blasted from a quarry on the west side of Utah
Lake. |
The right wall is built of
rounded quartzite fieldstone taken (not blasted) from a quarry
probably in Davis County. |
