Why dry stone?
Dry stone walls and structures have been built by humans for thousands of years.
Dry stone walls are an important part of our history, heritage and landscape. They are a haven for wildlife and provide shelter for livestock.
Dry stone walls will stand the test of time as they are designed to move with
the land.
Dry stone walls make practical and beautiful features.
Environmentally friendly, we re-use and recycle existing stone wherever possible as well as using local quarries.
Where do we work?
We work mostly in Somerset.
We will travel to surrounding counties like Dorset, Wiltshire
and also the Forest of Dean and further afield for some projects.
We enjoy the flexibility of working with most types of stone. Building in the local style wherever possible using either random stonework or coursed stonework.
