If you drove past my old house there, you'd assume the rock wall was from a prior era, back when the area was farmland. Actually, it was the handiwork of a dear landscaper who, over the course of maybe three seasons, helped us transform a dog-run front yard into shady paradise, with salvaged shrubs and ground covers from land trashed by developers, plants otherwise headed for the ash heap. Anyway, in the process of re-planting these treasures in their new home, so many rocks turned up - perfect to create a brand new old stone wall. Wow, I miss that yard. Thanks for a great article!
