This job at a property near Hatton in Aberdeenshire involved the construction of a free-standing boundary wall
In all, the wall measured 35m by 1.25m high, and consisted of three sections. The project involved two sets of gates and a postbox incorporated into the wall.
The big challenges in this build were the steepness of the slope - the ground is sloping for most of the length - which required careful working of the flat-bedded stone, and the tight curve in one part of the wall.
Wallers - Jason Hoffman and Richard Love.
Stone - Denfind stone.
