In late summer 2013, we removed the struggling thyme on the berm at the top of the driveway, and put in a dry stacked stone wall.

We ordered a pallet of irregular wallstone (fieldstone) and crushed gravel and set to work. It was harder than anticipated, and the result is amateurish, but it looks ok.
One stone was heart shaped and that was featured in the wall. Here is the completed wall on September 6, 2013.
By the next year, 2014, it looked like this stone wall had always been here.
The heart had been glued into its spot but on New Year's Eve it toppled out and laid on the pavers for much of January. By February I had propped it back in the wall.

Love the stone heart.

In 2015 we hired a stonemason to built a low dry stacked wall to edge the garden on the east side of the house. It really finishes off this strip along the foundation. He used one pallet of field stone, with just a handful left over.
