Dry stack stone wall

Dry stack

Dry stack walls use no mortar. Stones are chosen and set so they take their strength from each other. It is slower, more skilled work — and it weathers in a way mortar never will.

  • Random dry stack pattern — dry stack means no mortared joints
  • Can be combined with metal or timber fencing

Blockwork when the job needs it

Not every wall is dressed stone. Where the structure calls for it, Long Stride installs Besser block and the Boral Connex system, core-filled with concrete and steel — suitable for retaining and load-bearing walls.

  • Besser block walling
  • Boral Connex, core-filled and steel reinforced
  • Built to the client’s specification

Brickwork repointing service

Canberra brickwork copes with freeze and thaw. Crumbling mortar lets water in, rusts wall ties, and quietly undermines the house. Repointing restores strength and appearance.

  • Mortars use GIBCO MRF admixture for bond and frost resistance
