Customer Reviews
“Looks stunning. Started punctual on the agreed date and completed it within the timeframe specified. Fence straight, plumb, banter of the street - happy I went the stacked stone!”
Mark Bradley
“Greg was amazing to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. I have a fabulous fence that I will have for many, many years. I have no hesitation in recommending Greg or his excellent business.”
Kym Hudson
“This Wall concept is amazing. I could not believe how fast our fence went up! Greg and his team did a great job negotiating our steep sloping block. The end result exceeded our expectation, we even added a secure parcel post box. We have now painted the wall which looks even better. I am confident the investment is reflected in our increased property value.”

There is nothing quite like the look of natural stone on a boundary. The catch is the build: every stone is cut and laid by hand by a skilled stonemason, which makes it one of the slowest and most expensive walls there is. We found a way to give you that look without the wait or the price, by casting our panels from a genuine 19th-century Spanish stone wall. Here is the honest comparison.

Natural stone wall alternative: common questions
Is it real stone?
It is solid 50MPa concrete cast from a genuine 19th-century Spanish stone wall, so it carries the exact texture and detail of hand-laid stone. Acid-stain finishing gives it authentic colour variation rather than a flat, obviously-cast surface. From the footpath it reads as a natural stone wall, without the natural stone price.
How much cheaper is it than a natural stone wall?
Considerably. A natural stone wall is cut and laid by hand by a stonemason, which is slow, skilled and labour-intensive, and it is one of the dearest walls you can build. Our Stacked Stone is cast in panels and craned into place, so you get the look for a fraction of the cost and in days rather than weeks. Every site is different, so the best comparison is a free quote.
Will it last like natural stone?
Yes. Each panel is solid 50MPa fibre-reinforced concrete with a 100-year design life, backed by our 15-year structural guarantee. There are no mortar joints to crack, and the colour is acid-stained into the surface, so the wall ages gracefully in the Queensland climate.
Can I match a particular stone look?
Our Stacked Stone is cast from one authentic Spanish stone wall, and the acid-stain finish lets us tune the colour to suit your home, from warm sandstone tones to cool greys. It is a product no competitor offers, so your boundary has genuine, one-off character.
