Client Testimonials

Peter and Caroline Wilson, Collessie

We love the Wonky Wall. It has already given us great pleasure to see it evolve, like some ancient dragon stretching itself out of the ground and coming to life. Not so much breathing fire, as ice (it was a very cold winter !). The wall is a masterpiece of Jason's craftsmanship and his imagination. A true work of art.

Kevin Fairclough, Technical Officer, Paths for All

On behalf of Paths for All, I would like to thank Jason and his team for such a fantastic, high quality job. The walls were completed to high standards, as expected from such skilled craftsmen! My colleagues and, likewise, visitors to the gate demonstration area, have commented very favourably on the work, and I would be more than pleased to recommend Stone Inspired to others and look forward to working with them again."

Peter Giacopazzi, The Good House Company, Kinross

Stone Inspired did a very professional job, using what must be rare skills to finish the wall to a high standard. My clients and other visitors have commented very favourably on the work, and I believe the price was fair too.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your efforts - the end result has exceeded my expectations and we are delighted with how the wall, the raised border and both sets of steps have turned out. It was fascinating watching the process and your efforts and attention to detail was second to none.

"Thank you - we are truly delighted with the quality of the work undertaken by Stone Inspired. From start to finish Jason engaged positively with us, taking time to understand our requirements and making further suggestions which helped to improve the overall design.

It was fascinating to watch the skill and craftmanship in developing this fantastic addition to our garden. The Denfined stone is beautiful. Demonstrating a professional approach throughout we would highly recommend Stone Inspired to others."

The MacKintoshes, Tayport

"Thank you so much for your superb design and craftsmanship.

Amazing what you made from our big pile of rubble. The details of step stile, fan steps, random old stone, and more regular Denfind are beautiful.

We were very impressed with the attention to detail to ensure the best fit of the stones in the various structures. Makes us want to spend as much time as possible outside, and look forward to developing the planting through the Springtme. Look forward to working with you again."

The Johnstons, Burntisland

"I have been delighted with the finished outcome of the work completed by Stone Inspired. From helping with the initial idea, through to planning then completion, Jason did a tremendous job. The quality of the finished work exceeded all expectations. Professional and courteous, his company is a pleasure to do business with."

The Hopes, Dollar

Jason Hoffman, trading under the name Stone Inspired, recently completed the construction of a fifty metre dry stone dyke on my property. This work has been recognised by Dollar Civic Trust and has been given an award by them for the 'Best Small Project'

I quote the comments from Dollar Civic Trust: -
"The Assessors were impressed with the workmanship and quality of finish on the wall. It makes a positive contribution to the road frontage and the owner is to be commended for undertaking the work and employing a true craftsman."

I found Jason to have been an extremely diligent worker who carried out his work in an efficient and conscientious way.
