A retaining wall built to belong. 🪨

Local blue rag stone, plenty of reclaimed stone from the dig-out, and finished with slate flagstone capping.

Traditional stonework, making the most of local materials.

A garage transformation from 2024! 🪨

Stone facing on a blockwork garage, with some seriously tight access!

The stone was supplied locally by Penningtons Quarry Ltd, creating a traditional finish to this garage.

How long do you reckon it took me to face the blockwork? 🤔

🧱 DRY STONE WALL REPAIR | CUMBRIA
Change of plan today…
A wet Friday morning repairing a damaged dry stone wall after a vehicle tried to squeeze through a gap that was a little too tight! 😂

Carefully rebuilding the damaged corner, matching the existing stonework and restoring the wall to its original character.
