Working to a design by Chris Young of Taurus Gardening Ltd, various elements of drystone were used to enhance the front and back gardens of this property in South Queensferry.
The work included building two sets of raised beds in front of the house, curved walls at the entrance to the back garden, and stone risers for the patio and three sets of steps at the rear and side of the house.
The laying of the patio slabs was by Taurus Gardening; all other stone work was by us. Drystone work built with Denfind Stone; patio slabs used Indian slate. Some stone found on the site was also utilised.
Wallers - Richard Love and Jason Hoffman
