Enduring

Craftsmenship

 

This very old form of construction has a number of advantages. Dry stone walling is a practical form of boundary with an inherent conservation and heritage value.  As seen in the Kentucky Bluegrass region they enhance the landscape, will outlast a wire fence many times over, are fire proof, and can be built in virtually any situation from steep slopes to wetland ground.

The limits of imagination — from the designer, architect, landscaper or client — will form the boundaries of dry stone work we can provide using this ancient craft.

For example in dry stone we can build:

Entrance gates and walls

Retaining walls

Free standing boundary walls

Lower feature walls

Garden beds, Benches and Tree Wells

Lawn steps / stiles

Terraces

Mail boxes

Stone Arches

Water features.

What is Dry stone?

Dry stone is a building method by which structures are constructed from stones without any mortar to bind them together. Dry stone structures are stable because of their unique construction method, which is characterized by the presence of a load-bearing facade of carefully-selected interlocking stones. Dry-stone technology is best known as wall construction, but dry stone buildings, bridges, and other structures also exist.
