Stonework isn’t for everyone — but for those with patience, precision, and a love of solving puzzles, it’s one of the most rewarding trailbuilding disciplines. This session explores the artistry and endurance of stone structures, from retaining walls to steps and crossings. Through a detailed slide presentation, we’ll examine how to choose the right rock sizes and shapes for each application, move materials safely and efficiently, and apply proven construction techniques that balance durability, stability, and aesthetics. Designed for trail professionals ready to refine their craft and integrate stonework into long-lasting, low-maintenance trail systems.
