a selection of our work

creative design and engineering

Creative design visionaries coupled with engineering and construction expertise, mean you are in safe hands when it comes to both functionality and form. As well as academic qualifications and hands-on experience, we have a proven track record established over many years. We design, plan, manage and build structures that improve our clients lived-in environment whilst simultaneously creating beautiful nature-based structures that enhance even the finest of gardens and landscapes.

We work with some of the countries finest Garden Designers, Landscapers and Architects.

Collaborating with the nation's most distinguished garden designers, landscapers, and architects, we offer tailored solutions to bring your outdoor visions to life, combining expert craftsmanship and innovative design.

Once the design brief is settled we carefully plan and organise the project to ensure smooth transition from idea to action.

After finalizing the design brief, we meticulously plan and organise the project to facilitate a seamless transition from concept to execution.

Exceeding Expectations

We feel very fortunate to able to build structures like this. Leaving a lasting landmark that will be enjoyed for centuries is a real privilege for us. To that end, we take the utmost pride in all of our projects and we believe that is proven in our results.

We Build Bridges
There is nothing quite like an arched dry stone bridge to evoke feelings of an era when courage, skill and craft were revered and sought after. We have become adept in understanding how to design and build stone arched bridges that are safe, functional and extremely beautiful.

Throughout our careers as dry stone wallers, We have become somewhat of an authority in dry stone arched bridge construction. We have designed and built both, pedestrian only arched bridges, as well as large dry stone arched bridges that provide highly effective vehicular access over a water course.

We work alongside structural and civil engineers as well as landscape architects and project management teams, to design, plan, manage and build a modern day ‘pack-horse’ bridge. Our understanding of how an arched or vaulted structure works, coupled with our ability to build beautiful dry stone structures has enabled us to act as consultants and advisors on prospective bridge projects for contractors around the world.

testimonials

 To Say "I'm happy" with my new circular olive tree drystone wall is a major understatement! How Tracey and Jason make a pile of random stones into a stunning focal point is simply amazing! Their stunning stonework has inspired me to re-design my garden and incorporate as much of their work as possible. 

Andy Robinson - Arthington

 Made a great job of extensive repairs to our drystone wall. Helpful friendly service. Highly recommended. 

Lynne Newsome - Norwood

 We highly recommend Living Stone Dry Stone Walling :-) Last year they built a wall in our private driveway and we asked them back recently to build a garden wall using our stone from an original crumbling wall. Jason and Tracey are a very hard working, talented and really nice couple with a good eye for the natural beauty in stone and the colour tones that come out of it -born to be stonemasons! It was also a pleasure to meet their 2 beautiful dogs Forest and Tucker
