This is one of the easier aspects of artistic stonework. Here I'm working a section of retaining wall and one of the final touches is to wire brush the facing stones free of any earth or mortar which brings out the natural beauty of each stone. It also means that as the wall weathers naturally, lichen and moss will establish evenly adding to the old weathered appearance. A bit of light relief after all the heavy lifting-something my back won't miss!
