ʻO nā pōhaku lepo he ʻano mea hou o ka pā, me ka hiʻohiʻona hexahedron ka nui a me nā poloka like ʻole. ʻO nā pōhaku lepo nā mea i hana ʻia mai ka ʻōpala, nā ʻōpala ʻoihana (slag, pauka lanahu, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe), a i ʻole nā ​​ʻōpala hana. Loaʻa iā lākou nā hiʻohiʻona o ka nui maʻamau, hiʻohiʻona piha, a me ke kūkulu kūpono ʻana, a hoʻokō i nā koi o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pā i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻoihana hale. Hoʻohana ʻia nā poloka a me nā poloka nui. I ke koho ʻana i nā lako mīkini masonry block piha piha, e koho i nā mea hana me kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka automation, kahi e hoʻomaikaʻi nui ai i ka hana hana.

No ka laʻana, nā pōhaku lepo pā, nā pōhaku lepo paʻa, nā pōhaku paʻa, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana ʻia i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kūkulu hale, ka wai slope masonry, waihoʻoluʻu (permeable) alanui ʻili pōhaku no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā ʻāina ākea, nā poloka hoʻonaninani, nā curbstones, nā curbstones, a me nā lako masonry block piha no ke kanu ʻana a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā lio kālā hiki ke hoʻopau i ka nui o ke kūkulu ʻana. ʻO ka hana ʻana i nā pōhaku lepo ma ke ʻano he mau mea hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo he mau mea maikaʻi e like me ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka haumia o ke kaiapuni, ka mālama ʻana i nā kumukūʻai hana, ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā kumukūʻai hale, ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke kūpaʻa seismic o ka hale, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
