25 thoughts on “How To Build A Retaining Wall – The Stonemakers™ Method”

  1. Hey mate. Can you get back to me as i would like to come over from
    australia and learn the technique and bring it back here!

  2. I wish you could share what you put in the mortar/concrete mix because I am
    in northern California and I cannot find a Stonemakers dealer out here. I
    am seeking information on how to get this in my yard.

  3. Looks great! Is there anyone in the Orange County, New York area that does
    these retaining walls I would like to get a quote on having one done.

  4. It looks very good. I have a question about the concrete mix. How to do it
    does not crack? 

  5. i like it. great way to quickly construct a very strong wall. like the
    stone wall builder said…it saves your back. and it looks great. i’m
    building a rock wall now, and this looks really good to me. to bad i’m too
    far into the job to do this. question, how long does the spray on finish
    last, and does it chip or fade?

  6. Replacing a real stone wall with concrete is nutty. The homeowner should
    have just had the natural stones professionally stacked.

  7. @fuzzpool Hey fuzz pool i dont really care i am not here to argue with you
    as to which is better. I have not only have have had experience to know
    what works but I have several inventions on how to do this. if you like
    Rock then why are you on this video Make your own video on real rock im
    sure it looks great. this is an alternative and it works good for our
    customers and our dealers. thank you.

  8. Similar real stone wall roughly 10k right? Amazing look. You’ve got
    yourself a great business in what you’re doing. Nice!

  9. @fuzzpool There is a very large market for what we do and it looks a whole
    lot better than block and some real rock. Go to the block videos and
    comment on there about your real rock and the benefits of real rock vs
    block. 92 percent of all retaining walls are done with block. this is a
    better alternative, price wise and much stronger. Good luck with your rock
    building hope you can get your prices in this economy.

  10. If you did real stonework you would know not to do runs and standing
    stones.”two over one”.The real thing will last forever.yours will have to
    be repainted.When it cracks and it will it will show all.

  11. I think its a great idea for applications 4 foot and under , anything
    bigger and I’d go with stone.

  12. @fuzzpool It depends on the sealer you use, a little study goes a long way.
    If you dont like this process go back to the back breaking stone work and
    God bless you while you do it. I did it for many years and Im done I love
    this process and how well it has served me. We have polymers and several
    proprietary products in the concrete that make it much stronger than you
    could believe.

  13. @crazystoneworker we have a chemical that we add to the concrete that not
    only helps the concrete stand up but keeps it from setting up to fast. Its
    an hydroscopic product that increases the psi and flexual strength. Call us
    for more info.

  14. @fuzzpool I have been a mason for more than 30 years working with real rock
    3rd generation and to date i have not found any walls as strong as this
    process. If you knew the whole process you would understand. Rock really
    never binds to mortar and the psi is much greater in 2 inch slump concrete
    with our chemical additives. We are seeing close to 3,000 psi after only 24
    hours and can get up to 70 to 80 thousand psi and more by final cure time.
    Best of all it is monolithic.

  15. Awesome!…You obviously have sat in front of actual rock walls and studied
    what “real” rocks look like. Great job…I’m motivated. Thanks!
