When people think of limestone walls, they often imagine large retaining systems or structural features meant to support slopes. But limestone’s beauty, versatility, and refined appearance also make it the perfect material for accent walls—decorative landscape features designed purely to enhance the style, structure, and visual flow of your outdoor space.
