Mortar rock concrete wall

Your standard rock, due to density, does not have the suction of brick and concrete block, so we will make the mortar mix quite stiff. Without any suction, the mortar mix will stay plastic for some time. If the mortar doesn’t get stiff from water loss fairly quickly, you can’t stack more rock on the concrete wall as the mortar moves in the lower rows or courses. Soil can be very heavy, especially if it’s wet. Our entire team at Prestige Decorative rock concrete walls will keep this in mind as we start to build your rock concrete wall. Your concrete wall needs to resist the push of this soil against the wall. If the ground above your concrete wall is sloped, you have extreme un-safe pressure pushing against the wall. We will absolutely never let this be the case in our completion of your mortar rock concrete wall.

Dry rock concrete wall

When dry stacking a rock concrete wall, Many elements need to be addressed early and correctly, friction between the individual pieces of rock is very important. This friction of rock on your concrete wall needs to be greater than the push of the soil behind the wall, otherwise the soil will push a course of stone from a lower one.

If you intend to create a flat area above a concrete wall that will act as a parking area for cars or trucks, you need to account for this extra surcharge load. Some of the weight of the vehicles will push against the wall, especially if the tires are close to the edge of the top of the wall.
