Master craftsman dry stone waller Richard Meller and his team work with you to create usable, exciting, enjoyable spaces using masonry and dry stone walling to transform your landscapes and gardens. Richard has many years experience planning and landscaping gardens. His team combine stone work with extensive horticultural knowledge to transform any area.
Well constructed dry stone, being both flexible and free-draining, is an ideal material for hard landscaping. The natural beauty of dry stone is the perfect backdrop for plants, and is equally at home in a contemporary setting as in a traditional rural scene. Dry stone walling is one of the first steps in transforming a garden. Once the levels have been found and the structure created, the rest of the garden can then take shape.
A natural stone cladding can add a huge amount to a house or other structure. We are practised at creating a tight dry stone look with exterior stone cladding, as well as creating pointed mortared or lime claddings.
