As you know I like stonework in all its forms. These are a couple of interesting stone seats located near Kendal Castle which give great views of the south of the town.

This is a fantastic double garage we’ve stone faced at beautiful Casterton for MK Conversations Ltd. Our work is almost complete. There is a bit of pointing to do and slate window sills to install

We have recently completed a boundary wall at Holme Primary School. I prefer the look of the wall without mortar pointing, but it’s better to point it for structural integrity and weather protection. I’ll let you be the judge😊😊😊

Here is a video about Quarry Stonework that has been created by Ian Wood Photography. It was filmed at Newby Bridge at a new-build property which we are stone-facing. We have also built a dry-stone boundary wall at the property. Check out the video here - vimeo.com/515387698/4f86…

Here is a stile in a dry-stone wall located between Orrest Head and Far Orrest, near Windermere. I like the way the sunlight is catching the stones and the tree behind the wall. (Photograph taken before the lockdown)

These are photographs of work in progress on a job we did in 2018 for John Everiss, an award-winning garden designer. He created a Garden of Reflection at the Chorley Flower Show to provide a lasting memorial to the men and women of the Chorley borough who served during WW1

This is a large garage we’ve stone faced at Casterton for MK Conversions. We just need to point it now.

Here we are, working in the pouring rain to finish this drystone wall on schedule. I have really enjoyed working with this stone at Lanquest Properties’ Newby Bridge site. We’ll start stone facing the house next #wall #stonework #stonework #newbybridge #stoneface #slate

This is a job we did for Roland Hill Ltd at a property at Old Hall Road, Windermere, before the first lockdown. There were 200 metres of retaining wall. I like the effect the green slate, which was from Coniston, gives the retaining wall. I think we did a really good job with it.

We have started working at a new build at Newby Bridge. We have a large boundary wall to build with local blue slate before we stoneface the house with Coniston green slate. It’s a nice job to start the year.

These stones at Kendal Castle, seen here bathed in late afternoon sunshine, have been at this site for centuries

I love to see great examples of stonework in the Lake District. Here is an amazing stone-stepped path at the start of the ascent of Helm Crag at Grasmere

We have recently been rebuilding part of a massive retaining wall at Gatebeck. A huge crack appeared in the wall so we acted before it collapsed. We moved tons of material, put in a concrete foundation and concrete retaining wall before stone facing it using the original stones.

I love the way that those who built this dry-stone wall near Helm Crag at Grasmere have incorporated this huge boulder. It shows great skills and workmanship.
