Ever wonder how to attractively balance round objects on top of each other? Stone masons Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns have the answer to this age-old question when they tackle a garden retaining wall in Cohasset, Mass. with a mixture of round fieldstones to give the wall a true New England style dry stack look. The stone guys select a mixture of stones that will ensure a beautiful finished project. Then they build the wall while emphasizing tight, consistent joints — no easy feat when the stones range in size from basketballs to baseballs and have no flat edges. The end result is one that gardeners and backyard aficionados everywhere will be eager to call their own.
