Reclaimed Stone Benches & Retaining Walls

Extracted from storied New England quarries, shaped by master masons, and eventually salvaged from historic structures, our reclaimed granite blocks add form and function to a range of landscape designs.  From private homes to public spaces, they bring scale, strength and a sense of permanence.  

STONE BLOCK RETAINING Walls

The size and substance of reclaimed granite blocks make them an ideal choice for a stable wall construction.  Their beautifully crafted, weathered  faces form a striking visual boundary, while their dimensionality addresses practical concerns such as elevation change, erosion, drainage and usable space.

STONE BENCHES

Large format stone benches create simple, durable sitting areas which integrate seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Reclaimed granite blocks provide proportion and natural surfaces that work well in gardens and courtyards, around firepits, and for public spaces such as outdoor classrooms and amphitheaters.

Fequently Asked Questions

FAQS

WHAT IS THE PROPER HEIGHT FOR A STONE BENCH?

Most stone benches are between 16 and 18 inches, which matches standard chair height and allows for comfortable sitting. The final height may vary slightly depending on the stone size, base thickness, and whether cushions or backrests are included.  

WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN BUILDING A STONE BLOCK RETAINING WALL?
  • Installing on a properly prepared, stable base, ensuring the blocks’ mass provides natural resistance to movement.
  • Establishing proper drainage behind the wall will relieve water pressure and ensure long-term performance. 
  • If your construction borders or is in close proximity to a property line, considering how the wall might affect the bordering property might save you time, money and aggravation down the road.
HOW TALL CAN A STONE RETAINING WALL BE?

Wall height depends on site conditions, soil, and layout. Taller walls may require engineering or additional reinforcement, so it’s best to consult a professional for larger installations. Checking local building codes and zoning ordinances is recommended as well.
