There are several methods of constructing dry stone walls, depending on the quantity and type of stones available. Most walls are constructed from stones and boulders cleared from the fields during preparation for agriculture. The type of wall built will depend on the nature of the stones available.

As with many older crafts, skilled wallers, today, are few in number. With the advent of modern wire fencing, fields can be fenced with much less time and expense using wire than using stone walls; however, the initial expense of building dykes is offset by their sturdiness and consequent long, low-maintenance lifetimes. As a result of the increasing appreciation of the landscape and heritage value of dry stone walls, wallers remain in demand, as do the walls themselves.
