Tennessee Limestone and Fieldstone in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Material guide

Tennessee Limestone and Fieldstone

Limestone is part of Middle Tennessee. From cut steps to rugged fieldstone walls, it fits the landscape and the region.

Limestone sits under much of Middle Tennessee, and local stone has been used in walls, chimneys and foundations here for generations. In the landscape, cut limestone makes crisp steps, caps and patios. Rough fieldstone makes walls that look as though they have always been part of the land.

Limestone is durable and takes weather well. It can be sourced locally, which makes it a practical and sustainable choice. Colors range from cream and buff to gray, and many pieces show fossils and natural texture that give a wall real character.
