I live and work in the North York Moors area



I'm a qualified hedgelayer and have laid hedges in Ireland, Holland and in the UK. I'm also a drystone waller and have built houses (and walls), garden features, gate entrances in Ireland, Australia and in England.

I've been told I'm a bit of walling and hedgelaying nerd. But I don't mind it because it's normal. Doesn't everyone stop and take pictures of these when they are on holiday?

Some of the site contains my work along with pictures of hedges, walls and walling features from places I've visited. It should be pretty obvious which is my work.

More of My Walls

Abbey Farm. (Before & After)


Browside Farm. Rather difficult rebuild as a lot of these large stones had fallen into the drainage ditch on the left




Park Farm farm Fylingthorpe 2022.  This is the line of the old  Park Wall running north/south

 




Below:- One of the few walls I've done with newly quarried stone - in this case the stone came from LowtherCrag above Crag Fm, Eskdale Side. Darnholm, nr Goathland.







Raw, Nr Fylingthorpe

 

Roadside rebuild. 2021








Its  not often this happens.  A car hit the wall and knocked a hole in it.  Luckily It was a part of the wall I'd yet to repair.  But after I rebuilt it, the same car hit the now, rebuilt wall again.  😀  You couldn't make it up.
