About

We are both accredited professional members of the Dry Stone Walling Association (DSWA), the official leading body for the craft, heritage, and preservation of dry stone walling in the UK. We have both been awarded Level 2 professional qualifications and are listed on the official DSWA professional register (here). Prior to dry stone walling, our backgrounds were in art history and architecture, and we met whilst studying at The Courtauld Institute of Art in London.

We offer all traditional dry stone walling services, undertaking small repairs, full rebuilds and the building of brand new walls. Whether your project involves a garden wall, boundary wall, field wall or retaining wall, we will be happy to help.

The other side of our practice concerns dry stone walls and their ecological potential (hence our name!). Dry stone walls are fantastic habitats for all kinds of flora and fauna. Animals and insects, including birds, toads, stoats and butterflies make homes in walls, as well as lichens, moss and flowering plants.

Our aim is to combine the traditional craft of dry stone walling with an ecological approach. While all dry stone walls are good for nature, we believe they can be designed and constructed in ways that intentionally and actively provide habitats and enhance biodiversity, offering significant potential for rewilding and habitat regeneration.
