Perthshire – dry stone retaining walls and steps

This Perthshire client had an old and increasingly dangerous looking dry stone retaining wall at the front of his property.  He asked me to rebuild and add a grand set of steps.

The original stone was repurposed with some extra stone brought in from a neighbouring farm for use in the wall and as cope stones. The big challenge was working some at times very poor stone – a lot of it was very weathered and frost-shattered.  However, with a bit of effort and perserverence we made it work.

Marting Tyler and his team from Dry Stone Walling Perthshire spent a couple of days helping to dismantle the old wall, set the foundations and move some stone.
