How about build the wall to code depending on what the wall is holding back with blocks & then face with the stone as a finish ?
this way your support for the retaining wall is in the blocks and the stone could be cut into slithers like a brick face and be adhered to the block with a waterproof grab adhesive or mix etc to get the dry stone wall effect with reduced joints but no sacrifice to structure
Thanks for the suggestion Neal. The blocks are quite substantial and are designed to be laid as walling in their own right so adding any other block shouldn't be necessary. They won't be holding anything back but the wall is acting as a decorative divide. I''m thinking that Marshalls M-Fix should do it but wondering if anybody else has any other ideas.
I have used the Marshalls stone cladding, its a good product and comes with the adhesive ready to use, the adhesive is a sika product so good stuff
I have also used a Mapei external tileing adhesive to do the same job, this is also a very good product but will depend on the weight of the stone or cladding you wish to stick.
Best of luck
