There are two types of rockwork; Veneer Rock Facing or Stacked Rock. Veneer Rock Facing is applied to concrete or concrete block (cinder block). Stacked Rock is stone that is stacked freely with mortar in between. A rock wall can weigh 1,000 Lbs. per linear foot and a six foot high column can weigh 3,000 Lbs. It is very important that the foundation is the correct size for the walls or columns being constructed. Soil conditions need to be taken into account as well. Many rock work projects fail due to poor footing and foundations and / or poor soil conditions.
