As you know I like stonework in all its forms. These are a couple of interesting stone seats located near Kendal Castle which give great views of the south of the town.
This is a fantastic double garage we’ve stone faced at beautiful Casterton for MK Conversations Ltd. Our work is almost complete. There is a bit of pointing to do and slate window sills to install
We have recently completed a boundary wall at Holme Primary School. I prefer the look of the wall without mortar pointing, but it’s better to point it for structural integrity and weather protection. I’ll let you be the judge😊😊😊
Here is a video about Quarry Stonework that has been created by Ian Wood Photography. It was filmed at Newby Bridge at a new-build property which we are stone-facing. We have also built a dry-stone boundary wall at the property. Check out the video here - https://t.co/2sM26K4eLw
I am a member of the business networking group Kendal BNI and at its latest meeting I loved showing my presentation video. Thanks ianwoo_iphotographer Check out the video here - https://t.co/l8UptwMYw7
Here is a stile in a dry-stone wall located between Orrest Head and Far Orrest, near Windermere. I like the way the sunlight is catching the stones and the tree behind the wall. (Photograph taken before the lockdown)
These are photographs of work in progress on a job we did in 2018 for John Everiss, an award-winning garden designer.
He created a Garden of Reflection at the Chorley Flower Show to provide a lasting memorial to the men and women of the Chorley borough who served during WW1
Here are some photographs of Max and Barnaby of Quarry Stonework building a 15 metres-long garden wall at a property in Kendal using reclaimed limestone #limestone#gardenwall#wall#kendal#build#stonework
Here we are, working in the pouring rain to finish this drystone wall on schedule. I have really enjoyed working with this stone at Lanquest Properties’ Newby Bridge site. We’ll start stone facing the house next #wall#stonework#stonework#newbybridge#stoneface#slate
This is a job we did for Roland Hill Ltd at a property at Old Hall Road, Windermere, before the first lockdown. There were 200 metres of retaining wall. I like the effect the green slate, which was from Coniston, gives the retaining wall. I think we did a really good job with it.
We have started working at a new build at Newby Bridge. We have a large boundary wall to build with local blue slate before we stoneface the house with Coniston green slate. It’s a nice job to start the year.
I love to see great examples of stonework in the Lake District. Here is an amazing stone-stepped path at the start of the ascent of Helm Crag at Grasmere
Here are some more pictures from the job we have been doing to rebuild part of a massive retaining garden wall at a property in Gatebeck, south of Kendal
We have recently been rebuilding part of a massive retaining wall at Gatebeck. A huge crack appeared in the wall so we acted before it collapsed. We moved tons of material, put in a concrete foundation and concrete retaining wall before stone facing it using the original stones.
I love the way that those who built this dry-stone wall near Helm Crag at Grasmere have incorporated this huge boulder. It shows great skills and workmanship.
