Stable walling with straightforward labour pricing

Build the wall for the job it performs
A low decorative wall and a retaining wall holding back a change in level have very different duties. We undertake stone wall construction in Witheridge for garden structure, boundaries, decorative features and suitable retaining applications. Foundations, wall thickness, stable stone placement and bonding are considered in relation to the wall's purpose. Available stone, overall height and site access all affect the time and method involved. Where an existing wall needs attention, we also assess its condition rather than assuming the visible loose section is the whole problem.
Clear hourly pricing with site factors discussed
Our confirmed labour rate for stone walling is 25 pounds per hour. The final labour requirement depends on wall length, height, complexity, stone handling and access, so we discuss those points before work is scoped. Retaining walls and level changes also require attention to drainage and ground pressure. Water trapped behind a wall is not impressed by neat pointing and will continue looking for somewhere to go. We therefore consider the wall as part of the surrounding ground, including nearby paths, beds and changes in finished level.

Frequently asked questions
How much do you charge for stone walling?
Our confirmed labour rate is 25 pounds per hour. Total labour depends on the wall's dimensions, purpose, complexity, stone, access and existing ground. We discuss the likely scope after reviewing those practical details.
Can you build a stone retaining wall?
We can assess stone walling for retaining uses. The design must respond to wall height, ground pressure, foundations and drainage. A site review helps us understand the level change and decide what construction is appropriate.
Can existing stone be used in the wall?
That depends on its quantity, size, condition and suitability for the proposed wall. We can review the available material and explain how sorting, handling or additional stone may affect the labour and finished construction.
