        "text": "Dry-stacked stone installation involves carefully fitting stones together without mortar, relying on gravity, friction, and the stone's natural shape for stability. This method often creates a rustic, permeable aesthetic, ideal for garden walls or natural-looking features. Mortared installation, conversely, uses a cement-based mixture to bind stones together, creating a more rigid, durable, and less permeable structure. Mortared applications are common for load-bearing walls, patios, and outdoor fireplaces, offering greater structural integrity and a more refined finish.",
