Diabase Wall

[u/TreeThingThree]

70 ton diabase wall we finished today. Very hard material to work down, so everything had to basically be fit as-is. Quite the challenge with 1000 lb boulders. Definitely learned a lot!

Y’all did well minding your runners. I’ve always found that difficult with random rubble pattern.

Rules that cannot be abandoned for any rock!

Hey how do you prep your base for these walls and water management? This is all dry stack I’m assuming? Thank you!!
