Granite sett paving design & drystane landscaping
Natural stonework without cement
Welcome to www.hoodstone.com, the website for paving with a difference.
Whether in streetscaping or landscaping my work is cement free as far as possible.
Practically any design can be laid in granite setts, the only limitations are the size of the setts available and the size of the area to be laid.
I am self-taught in the methods used in celtic knotwork patterns and was the first person to lay these designs using granite setts.
Drawings are important for paving work, either for a design or in a conservation area, but I find that landscaping work tends to evolve.
Among many other features, I have built s-shaped retaining walls without cement on 45 degree bedrock on the Mull of Kintyre, and 6 foot high drystone walls on a Welsh farm.
I have experience of working with many different types of stone in many different locations; granite setts, granite cassies in Aberdeen, Caithness slate for paving and for a drystane dyke in the Beechgrove Garden, Yorkstone paving in Sheffield and on Ben Alder Lodge Estate, dry granite walls in Dublin, limestone walls in Galway, the local stone to Marbella for retaining walls, sandstone and micaschists for walls and steps on the Mull of Kintyre, etc.
I work closely with my clients to provide a personalised service.
I am willing to work anywhere worldwide, so long as the weather is good.
