Dry stone walling is also very common in the UK. It's a complex and now expensive skill, but a properly-built (this bit is key) wall will stay put for well over a hundred years because the rocks can shift a little rather then cracking the structure as temperatures change and water drains right out of them.
It's also very locally distinctive because the shape of the stones and therefore the wall layout and texture depends on the stones you naturally have nearby.
