What sort of stone should I use for a dry stack retaining wall and how much would that cost?

Question

I would like to build a dry stack retaining wall out of natural stone. Really, it would be 2 walls... one 3 ft, one 2 ft. about 50 feet long. I don't know what sort of stone I should be looking at or how much that stone would cost. Love some help.

Answer 1

They range from $1.50-$4 each at your local Lowes or Home Depot and are each about 1 foot long and 6 inches high.  So for your area, you would need about 450 blocks.  Good luck.
