Stonemasonry

Stonemasonry is one of several techniques which can be incorporated by Stonehedge to create stone features. Masonry (as opposed to dry stone walling) involves the use of mortar to bind stone together. This technique allows for very solid structures which can defy the principles of gravity and friction applied in dry stone walling.

A stone feature that will be used by many people typically also needs mortar to hold it together. An outdoor entertaining area, a winding path, a feature wall or fireplace inside your home, even the humble pizza oven all need mortar to give them the necessary structure and stength.

The art however is to create a look that suits your environment and the style you are aiming for. If you want a dry look on any of these features, it is possible, using a combination of masonry and dry stone walling techniques. This really is the versatility of using stone. Stonemasonry effectively extends the range of stone features which can be created.
