The client wanted to use stone to landscape his garden. The large garden sloped down toward a patio area, and he wanted a drystone wall to enhance the look of the garden and break up the slope. Additionally he wanted create planting space at the top of the wall.
After looking at the garden we also agreed build some steps into the retaining to give access to the garden from the patio.
The sandstone was supplied by Border Aggregates of Kelso borderaggregates.com.
Wallers - Jason Hoffman and Richard Love.
