Anchor Meadow Stone®

IMPROVINGYOUR

LANDSCAPE™

The new Anchor Meadow Stone® has attractive earthtone blends and arough-hewn texture that achieves the look and feel of natural stone. A flexible, easy-to-install 3-piece system, the Anchor Meadow Stone® can reach a height of 2 1/2’ (750 mm)and is a more reliable alternative to timber, boulder or field stone walls. Each stone soldindividually. Retaining wall design and construction vary based on product applicability,site conditions and local building code regulations. Engineering may be necessary.

COMPOSITION AND MANUFACTUREAnchor Meadow Stone® is made from a “no slump” concrete mix. Made under extremepressure and high frequency vibrations, Anchor Meadow Stone® has a compressivestrength greater than 4000psi, a water absorption maximum of 7%.

INSTALLATIONDepending on site conditions and or local building codes, engineering may be required.

Step 1 - Site Preparation: Stake out project. Place a string line level on each string line andadjust to where all lines are level. Measure down in wall increments using the height ofthe wall stone to determine placement of the top of the wall courses. For small landscapewalls (3 courses or less) it is required that the first course be at least partially buried. Fortall walls (4 to 8 courses) the first course should be fully buried at a minimum.

Step 2 - Excavation: All walls require excavation for a prepared base material thatextends a minimum of six (6) inches in front and back of the wall. For small walls, digthis trench a minimum half the height of the wall stone deep. For tall walls, dig yourtrench to a minimum depth of a full wall stone height. Compact floor of this trenchwith a compactor or hand tamper.

Step 3 - Base Preparation: For small walls base preparation, an option would be to placea mixture of dry sand and Portland cement (one shovel of Portland to four shovels ofsand). Place the sand-cement mixture a minimum of four (4) inches at the bottom of thetrench. For tall walls, you’ll need a more substantial base. Granular road base ispreferable at a minimum four (4) inch placement. Compact the material with acompactor or hand tamper. Engineering may be required.

Step 4 - Leveling: For both small and tall walls a maximum of one-half inch of coarse sandis allowable to level the top profile of the base material. When placing wall stones, levelthe surface of all wall stones in both directions with a carpenter’s level. Replace thestring-line where the top of your wall course will be and check for horizontal level priorto each course installation.

Step 5 - Laying Stones: Always begin at the lowest point of the wall. Level each stone inboth directions with a minimum two (2) foot carpenter’s level. Once the base course iscomplete, continue assembling additional courses by positioning the stones in a runningbond pattern relative to the course beneath, taking care not to align joints vertically.Securely engage the stone to the lower stones. Backfill and compact material behind thewall in a four (4) inch to a maximum six (6) inch layer. Install a granular no finesmaterial as a drainage zone a minimum of four (4) to six (6) inches thickness directlybehind the wall. Compact materials with a compactor or hand tamper. A four (4) inchperforated plastic pipe may be required behind wall.

Step 6 - Cutting Stones: When building your wall, you may need partial stones to finishcoursing. Place the to-be-cut stone at its finished position in the wall. Mark the cut line.Typically, a mechanical splitter or gasoline powered concrete hand saw are used tofacilitate cutting of stone. An alternative may be to use a hammer and a chisel. Placethe stone on a hard surface. Position the chisel at the cut mark and proceed to hammerthe chisel scoring the cut line. Score the stone on all sides. Once the perimeter score iscomplete, strike the chisel on the score line until it breaks. Always use safety glasses,gloves and applicable safety standards.
