The Thien Duc stone screen wall should be designed for the actual memorial garden layout. Avoid taking a ready-made model and applying its dimensions unchanged. KANNO has worked at Thien Duc in Phu Tho since 2019 and has completed projects there, so every screen wall proposal is checked against the gate, setback, paths, graves, stone scroll screen, offering table, and finished ground level before the drawing is finalized.
Where does a Thien Duc stone screen wall fit in the memorial garden?
Depending on the design, a screen wall can sit behind the entrance gate, along the approach axis, or form a visual separation between functional areas. Its position needs enough setback for people to change direction after passing the gate, while keeping paths clear and the garden open.
If the memorial garden includes both a stone scroll screen and a screen wall, define the role of each feature. Placing both structures on the same axis to serve the same purpose can add unnecessary detail and reduce usable space.
Screen wall dimensions should follow the actual site plan
The width, height, base, and thickness should be proportioned to the gate width, paths, fence, and graves behind it. An oversized design can take up the paths in a narrow space; one that is too small may look out of scale in a larger garden.
- Measure the gate’s clear opening.
- Measure the distance from the gate to the planned screen wall position.
- Check how much path needs to remain on one or both sides.
- Measure the distance to the nearest grave, offering table, or feature behind it.
- Check finished ground levels and the direction of drainage.
Families should also review how to choose stone screen wall dimensions and requirements to check when building a grave at Thien Duc before approving the drawing.
Which granite should be used for a Thien Duc stone screen wall?
Many families choose black granite for its formal appearance, compatibility with grave designs, and clear contrast with light-colored lettering. For a premium option, KANNO can advise on selected G20 when clients prioritize a deep black background, polish, and consistent color among the components.
However, a material name is not the only consideration. For a large screen wall panel, check consistency, stone grain, surface, edges, and how the joints are finished. Seeing a real sample and a reliable outdoor installation is more useful than comparing photographs alone.
How should ornament be handled on granite?
Granite has a strong form and surface, so it does not need to be covered in ornament. For KANNO’s design approach, favor restrained motifs, clear lines, and enough polished surface for the material to remain the focus. If the garden already has a detailed stone scroll screen, headstone, or gate, keep the screen wall more restrained so the composition does not feel busy.
How is a screen wall different from a stone scroll screen?
In practice, the terms can be used in similar ways, but their construction and design language are not exactly the same. A stone scroll screen often has a distinctive border or decorative form, while a screen wall can be designed as a simpler architectural panel. Do not automatically use stone scroll screen dimensions for a screen wall.
See the Thien Duc stone scroll screen if the family is considering both options.
Setback and clear paths matter more than making the wall oversized
A beautiful screen wall placed too close to the entrance can make access difficult and the garden feel cramped. When preparing the layout, show the gate swing, routes for walking around either side, standing space for offerings, and the nearest grave. This helps identify conflicts before stone fabrication.
What should be checked about foundations and drainage?
A granite screen wall is heavy. Increasing its height, width, or thickness also increases the load on the ground. The base needs to be stable, the footing height should match the finished level, and the design should not create a place where water collects. If the existing ground is weak or uneven, address it before placing the components.
Completed screen wall projects at Thien Duc
See the Indian black granite project at Thien Duc with a stone scroll screen, screen wall, and offering table. A completed project makes it easier to assess proportions, circulation space, polish, and how the features work together than a standalone product photo.
What affects the cost of a Thien Duc stone screen wall?
- Granite type and stock dimensions.
- Overall dimensions and component thickness.
- Level of ornament or CNC work.
- Surface and edge finishing.
- Foundations, transport, and installation conditions.
- Coordination with the gate, stone scroll screen, or offering table.
KANNO quotes according to the drawings and specific scope of work rather than using one general price for every memorial garden.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a model before measuring the site.
- Making the wall so wide that paths on either side become narrow.
- Placing it too close to the gate.
- Failing to check finished levels and drainage.
- Using too much ornament and losing consistency with the graves.
- Failing to distinguish a screen wall from a stone scroll screen.

FAQ
No. The material should suit the overall memorial garden, budget, and practical requirements. Black G20 granite is one option for a premium design.
It can work in some site layouts, but allow enough setback, clear path, and gate swing before confirming its position.
There is no fixed ratio. Check its width together with the base, paths on either side, and site depth.
Yes. KANNO has completed projects at Thien Duc that families can review for proportions, materials, and finish quality.
Only when the layout gives each feature a useful role and position. Do not add both simply to increase the number of features.
