Coverage and Installation
Chilton Cut Wall Stone provides approximately 18-21 square face feet of coverage per ton. For a standard garden wall (3′ high x 15′ long), you’ll need approximately 3-4 tons of material, depending on wall design and thickness.
For proper installation, prepare a level base of compacted gravel (minimum 4-6″ depth) for drainage and support. The consistent 4″x8″ sizing enables efficient installation with minimal cutting required. Stagger vertical joints between courses for greater stability and visual appeal. For walls over 24″ in height, consider installing drainage material behind the wall and consulting with a landscape professional for structural recommendations.
