stonework design & build
We design and build handcrafted dry stone installations that are rooted in place and shaped by story. Our work includes dry stone walls—including retaining walls and freestanding walls—along with stairs, benches, raised garden beds, gathering spaces, art sculptures, and one-of-a-kind stone features. Every piece is built using traditional dry stone techniques—without mortar—allowing the work to move, breathe, and endure with the land. Inspired by the natural world and our connection to it, each project is an opportunity to create something both beautiful and meaningful—spaces that invite reflection, presence, and a deeper relationship with the outdoors

PROCESS OVERVIEW
Consultation
Site Analysis
Design & Build
We meet in-person at the site of your project in mind to discuss your needs and creative ideas, learn a little about each other, and get a vibe check. In this conversation, we explore how you imagine interacting with the space or structure—how it will be used, what it will hold, and the feeling you want it to evoke. We also spend time uncovering the connections, stories, experiences you have to the land and the life that surrounds it. These insights guide the design and help shape a final piece that feels intentional, personal, and deeply rooted in place.
We assess the project site to determine the project footprint, better understand environmental factors (soil quality, drainage, sun exposure, how the space is currently being used) and identify any stone on property that has potential to be re-used or incorporated into the project.
Tall Grass proposes a design plan based on all of the information we’ve gathered. We refine our plan with you until we’re all excited about it, and then we get the build started.
