Elevating Home Curb Appeal – Mastering Masonry and Hardscaping with Stone Retaining Walls

At Arnold Masonry and Landscape, our commitment to excellence in masonry and hardscaping is evident in every project we undertake. Our recent endeavor showcases our talent in custom stone masonry, with a focus on retaining walls that not only serve a functional purpose but also elevate the curb appeal of your home. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating beautiful stone masonry retaining walls, leaving a lasting impression on the front yard of this remarkable home.

The Foundation: Tennessee Fieldstone

The foundation of this project is Tennessee Fieldstone, a medium-stack stone known for its rustic charm and enduring appeal. Our skilled artisans carefully selected these stones and set them in a dry stack pattern. This construction method ensures a seamless, natural appearance while allowing the unique character of each stone to shine through. The result is a retaining wall that combines timeless beauty with functional durability.

Capping It Off with Elegance: Canyon Creek Flagstone

To add an element of sophistication to the retaining walls, we chose Canyon Creek flagstone for the wall cap. This choice complements the rustic aesthetics of the Tennessee Fieldstone while introducing an elegant touch. The stone cap not only provides a finished look but also offers a comfortable seating or display surface.

Enhancing Functionality: Solid Stone Steppers

In addition to the retaining walls, our project included solid stone steppers leading to the entrance of the home. These steppers serve a dual purpose by enhancing accessibility and safety while also adding to the overall aesthetics of the front yard. The natural stone look perfectly complements the existing landscape, making for a seamless transition.

Curb Appeal Transformation

The beauty of this project lies in its ability to transform the curb appeal of the home. The stone retaining walls, with their dry stack pattern and natural fieldstone appearance, serve as decorative elements that add depth, character, and a sense of timelessness to the front yard.


Arnold Masonry and Landscape takes immense pride in every masonry and hardscaping project we undertake.
