Great idea sir, but would putting the large stones at the bottom not make more sense?

It probably would, in this case, this was the order I found the rocks.
The key here is more about interlocking mass. There is a steel T post driven 3 feet deep in the center of the stone pile. It stabilizes the mass. The wire mesh retains the mass.
Solid stone in this area weighs 160# per cubic foot, so this mass post probably will exceed two tons.
Awesome. Keep it up.
