What is fieldstone and where does it come from?

Fieldstone is naturally occurring stone collected from agricultural fields. It has an organic, irregular shape that creates a classic, timeless wall aesthetic.

Can fieldstone walls be built without mortar?

Yes — dry-stack fieldstone walls are built without mortar, relying on stone selection and placement for structural integrity. They allow natural drainage and flex with freeze-thaw cycles.

How tall can a fieldstone retaining wall be built?

Dry-stack fieldstone walls are typically built up to 4 feet high. Mortared fieldstone walls can be built taller with proper engineering support.

Do you serve Minneapolis for fieldstone wall installation?

Yes. We build fieldstone retaining walls across the Twin Cities metro including Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is fieldstone?

Fieldstone refers to naturally occurring stones collected from fields and riverbeds — not quarried. Each stone has a unique shape, giving fieldstone walls their distinctive, rustic character.

How tall can a fieldstone retaining wall be?

Dry-stack fieldstone walls are typically built to 3–4 feet. Mortared fieldstone walls can reach 6+ feet. Taller walls require engineering assessment.

Does fieldstone work in Minnesota winters?

Yes. Natural fieldstone expands and contracts minimally in freeze-thaw cycles. With proper drainage and foundation depth below the frost line, fieldstone walls perform reliably through Minnesota winters.
