First stone wall for stairs - dry fit


otterine

I didn't take a lot of photos during the process since I applied and removed stones many times as I figured things out. The second wall should be much easier, and faster!

Since there was an uneven amount of space left at the bottom of the arch, I added a large block instead of having a small stone at the bottom. This is also egg carton material and follows the same process as the other wraparound pieces.

Once these were in place, I started applying the straight rows from the top down. Partial stones can be more easily disguised at the bottom with landscaping and accessories. I will finish the tops with basswood painted to resemble concrete, so I cut the stones flush with the angled top. I also pressed the stones close together since I don't plan to grout other than adding filler where needed.
