Jointing yorkstone copings - Type of jointing

[Sequana]

Hello,

I am currently building some Yorkstone dry stone walling in my own garden and have bought some beautiful sawn Yorkstone copings to top them.

I have used several types of resin in paving jobs in other peoples gardens in the past, but I have never used Yorkstone Copings and they are a bit expensive to go down the trial and error path.

I have looked online at google images showing completed projects and I see very narrow and neat joints - many with a white mortar/compound.

Can somebody please give me some advise about the best thing to use.

Many thanks

I had a feeling someone posted a videa a few years back where the copings even on a dry stone wall were mortared on

so 3:1 sharp sand cement with 100ml of SBR in the mix should work

Thankyou for quick reply.

I had already intended to bed copings on mortar but it is the joints between the copings that concern me.

I am using sawn yorkstone and it needs to look quite clinical. All the dry stone walling has been cut to create a very modern look. Whenever i type yorkstone & modern gardens in google, i get these chic images of walls where the coping stone joints are very tiny and often white in colour.

Is this some set mortar mix or are they using a specialist sandstone jointing compound.

Many thanks again.
