WHAT I DO

I will lay your Hedge, Build or repair your Dry stone walling or plant new hedges.

Hedgelaying, Planting, Drystone Walling, Garden features, House stonework, hedgelaying, teaching, illustrated talks, Training in Hedgelaying, Stonework, Drystone Walling

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.

Whitby Laithes

I spent most of the summer of 2017 repairing this.  Many of the the through stones had come from the Abbey which you can see in the background.

Ordinary walls in Extra Ordinary places

Malton has many stone building and walls.  We are in sandstone/limestone country.  But this wall, is made from what appears to be slate from Wales or the Lake District.


And these two pictures are in London.  Plenty of stone in London, but these are 500 ft up on the top floors of the Sky Garden (20 Fenchurch St).

A bit of Ireland in England - Hawthorne hill fm, Goathland


I've repaired a few styles but this is the first one I've  built from scratch.











The owner was talking to be about walls.  I mentioned that in Ireland many walls were built with the stones placed vertically.  He said......  And so here we have a bit of Ireland in England.
