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.

Aislaby Side = an unusual wall.


This wall is quite unique, at least in North Yorkshire. The builder has placed many  of the stones on their edges or narrowest side.  Some people call them 'shiners'.  

Its quite an old wall and is built below the well know Aislaby quarries which supplied the stone for Whitby Abbey and London Bridge amongst other places.
