How to Fix a Leaning Stone Wall

A leaning stone wall is telling you something behind the face has shifted. Whether it can be reset or needs rebuilding depends on why it's leaning. Here's how the fix works.

Why walls lean

  • Lost capstones letting water in
  • Frost heave under a poor base
  • No drainage on a retaining wall
  • Tree roots and time

Reset vs. rebuild

  • When a section can be taken down and re-laid
  • When the base and drainage must be corrected
  • Reusing your original stone

Making the repair last

  • Fixing the cause, not the symptom
  • Matching stone so the repair blends in
