What Is Fieldstone?

Fieldstone refers to naturally occurring rocks collected from fields, riverbeds, and quarries — stones that have been shaped by time and weather rather than cut by machines. Each fieldstone piece is unique in shape, color, and texture, giving fieldstone retaining walls a character that manufactured products simply cannot replicate.

In Oklahoma, fieldstone often includes limestone, sandstone, granite, and quartzite in earthy tones of gray, buff, brown, and rust — colors that naturally complement Oklahoma landscaping and home exteriors.

Dry-Stack vs Mortared Fieldstone Walls in Broken Arrow

VistaScapes builds fieldstone retaining walls using both methods depending on wall height, soil conditions, and aesthetic goals:

• Dry-stack fieldstone walls — stones are carefully fitted together without mortar, relying on gravity and interlocking placement for stability. Dry-stack walls flex slightly with seasonal soil movement, making them ideal for Broken Arrow’s clay soils. They also drain naturally, eliminating hydrostatic pressure buildup.
• Mortared fieldstone walls — stones are set in mortar for a more permanent, finished appearance. Mortared walls can be built taller and provide a cleaner look. Proper weep holes and drainage aggregate are included to manage water pressure.

Retaining Wall Applications in Broken Arrow

Fieldstone retaining walls serve multiple purposes on Broken Arrow properties:

• Terracing sloped backyards into flat, usable outdoor living areas
• Controlling erosion on hillside properties
• Creating raised garden beds with natural stone borders
• Defining property boundaries and landscape edges
• Stabilizing slopes near driveways, walkways, and patios

Built to Last in Broken Arrow’s Climate

Oklahoma’s climate puts retaining walls through significant stress — wet springs, hot summers, and freezing winters. VistaScapes builds every fieldstone retaining wall with proper compacted base material, drainage aggregate, and filter fabric to ensure the wall performs through decades of weather cycles. We have built retaining walls in Broken Arrow that have stood for 20 years without shifting or cracking.
