The Perfect Balance of Strength and Style
A fence doesn’t just mark the edge of your property — it defines how your home feels from the outside and how secure you feel inside. For homeowners who want both privacy and beauty, a stone wall base with a half-height fence on top is the perfect blend of durability and design.
At LC Carpentry, we specialize in creating fences that do more than protect — they enhance your landscape, increase curb appeal, and are built to last through New England weather.
What Is a Stone Wall with a Half Fence?
It’s not just a fence — it’s a feature
This style combines a solid stone or masonry wall base (typically 2.5 to 3 feet high) with a wood or vinyl fence section installed above it — usually 3 feet tall. The result?
- A durable foundation that holds strong against time and moisture
- A clean, classic look that complements traditional and modern homes
- Added height and privacy without feeling boxed in
- Less fence maintenance, since the stone protects the bottom from moisture and damage
Why Homeowners Choose This Hybrid Fence System
Form meets function — and looks good doing it
Durability: Stone doesn’t rot, warp, or attract pests.- Curb Appeal: Great for front yards, driveways, and corner lots.
- Noise Control: Stone base helps block street and neighbor noise.
- Zoning Friendly: Easier to meet town fence regulations with a partial open design.
- Customizable: Mix and match stone types, fence materials, and finishes.

Built with care from the first block to the last nail
1.
Site Consultation & Planning
We evaluate your land layout, town zoning rules, and help you choose the best materials for both stone and fence.
2.
Excavation & Foundation Work
We dig and compact the base, then lay a concrete footing to support the weight of the wall.
3.
Stone Wall Construction
We build the wall with either natural stone, veneer, or concrete block with stone facing, depending on your style and budget.
4.
Fence Installation
We install a custom wood or vinyl fence (usually 3 feet tall) securely anchored on top of the wall.
5.
Finishing Touches
We seal and clean the stone (if requested), stain or paint the fence, and handle any necessary trim work.
