If you are thinking of installing a masonry project in your home, whether it’s a wall or other structure, you should know there are different types of masonry to choose from.

  1. Rubble Masonry – This type of masonry does not use dressed stones, and can be random, square, or miscellaneous in size. It is difficult to be certain that the weight is evenly distributed from rubble masonry, and the work takes great care. There’s also dry rubble masonry, which doesn’t use mortar. These structures are not meant to be load bearing.
  2. Ashlar Masonry – This is the type of masonry we are used to, with bricks or rocks that are square or rectangular. The edges are finely chiseled so they are perfectly straight and fit together in even vertical and horizontal lines.
