Stone Feature In Gable End

Customers who require a special stone feature to provide the finishing touch to a project can rely on our made-to-order service.

Each enquiry is tailored for the specific project.  We will work from your own designs or are happy to make suggestions for your approval.  Most projects benefit from the addition of focal points and bespoke character.  This is why the architecture of the past is so endearing to most of us.  The inclusion of unique features for reason of design, taste or mere whim, will produce “personality” in the finished project.  It then somehow feels more like your own!

This example  shows a stone feature giving the finishing touch to a stone gable end.

Stone Garden Seat

A matching pair of semicircular stone seats were commissioned by a client from Lewes in East Sussex to complete the unfinished hard landscaping of a garden which is listed as of Local Historic Importance.  Originally conceived in the 1920’s, this garden became the life’s work of two spinsters – the ‘Misses Martin’ who laid out a half acre of local floodplain in the Gertrude Jekyll style.  Their project was only 85% completed by the time the last of the sisters died and our client has spent the last 25 years restoring their labour of love.  Our seats, which match the style of the other garden furniture, are the finishing touch.  One principal reason that the client used our services was the fact that the ‘Misses Martin’ had only used waste and recycled natural materials to create their private oasis.
