weep screed - cultured stone - close but not quite

[CheckItOut]

Some builders here are starting to install a weep screed in the cultured stone (wood framed wall behind stone). This house (new const) has one but they buried it in mortar. Better than nothing at all.

I really can't see what that is for sure.

Is it actually a screed or an attempt at some sort of control / expansion joint?

This is a thru wall flashing it just does not lend itself well to veneers with irregular shapes and textures.

What you are looking at is a garden variety drip flashing.

Where in your garden do you have drip flashings?

There should be a flashing to allow water to drain. If the irregular shape is a problem, cut or arrange the stone to create the straight line.
