Stone wall and steps restoration
Follow our journey as we bring this old church from the 1800s and its gardens back to life
In this video, we will be repairing the 200 year old stone wall at the front of our property. Replacing the old concrete and pointing the stones with lime mortar, carefully choosing the right stones to rebuild the wall so that it can be close to its former glory and blend in nicely with the surrounding landscape. Quirky capping stone pattern. Moving large stones and we also reinstate the old stone steps and incorporate them into the wall design.
We hope you find this video entertaining. Thanks for watching!!
Tools used:
