An Ancient Craft

A mixed colour drystone wall with a unique stone feature included

Dry stone walling is an ancient craft that dates back thousands of years. The walls are constructed using interlocking stones with smaller wedges pinning them in-place and packing to fill in the voids. No mortar is used in a dry stone wall and as such very few tools are required in construction. The simplicity makes them the ideal construction method for garden and field walls.

Dry stone cladding

We can clad blockwork with dry stone walling, just like with a mortared wall. Each stone is cemented in such a way that the cement is not visible but creates a strong bond to the blockwork behind. Perfect for a retaining wall with beautiful dry stone aesthetics.
