Quarry stone masonry

In quarry stone masonry, natural stones of different shapes and sizes are layered.

Mortar is used to improve stability in quarry stone masonry, while mortar is dispensed with in dry stone masonry.

The stones used are processed with special tools. If possible, they should have at least two approximately parallel sides in order to lie better on top of each other.

The joint pattern of quarry stone masonry is irregular and is completely filled with mortar.
