ABSTRACT:
A constructed wall structure and method of fabrication that replicates a wall formed by nature. The structure has a plurality of discrete layers, with each layer constructed of concrete and a decorative additive. Every layer has an interface with an adjacent layer to thereby form a plurality of interfaces wherein at least one, and preferably most or all, of the interfaces are non-level. Non-limiting examples of decorative additives are rocks, sea shells, colorants, and mixtures thereof. Methodology for fabricating the wall structure includes pouring a first concrete mixture into a substantially vertical form which can be constructed as a channel within a generally elongate mound of a naturally occurring material and thereafter permitting a top surface of the concrete mixture to assume a non-level configuration. Preferably, a joint forming material is placed on the top surface of this first concrete mixture. In like manner, a second concrete mixture is poured on top of the first layer and a joint forming material is included. Additional layers can be added, with the concrete mixtures preferably including decorative additives that are exteriorly visible. After form removal by removing the mound, the entire wall or individual layers thereof can be subjected to an exterior treatment to enhance appearance.
