dry stone walling by Doyles of halifax

Home

	Dry stone walls have been used for centuries to enclose land and keep animals in. Traditional dry stone walling is becoming popular for boundaries around new housing developments, and are an investment adding value to properties. They are virtually maintenance free, look much better than a wooden fence or mortared wall and will last for many years longer. We undertake commissions for new dry stone wall boundaries.
	Garden walls and features are a common request from our clients in Halifax and the West Yorkshire area and we happy to give you a free estimate for special features such as this driveway entrance. We have produced hand-made pond water features, stone staircases and garden retaining walls with shelves for plants to name a few. email me with your individual requirements.
	As dry stone walls have divided the landscape of many rural and semi rural areas maintenance over time is necessary. Unfortunately this has not been carried out in many cases and we are in danger of losing walls completely in some locations. We can pull down and strip out a dilapidated dry stone wall and then rebuild a good solid wall using traditional dry stone walling techniques.
	Block paving and stone flagging work is a worthwhile investment in your property. We can transform your driveway into something special. Old tarmac can be removed and replaced with paves as in this picture. We can quote for all work involved including excavation and tipping of excess materials, and replacing with suitable hardcore ready for your new block paves. We work mainly in the Halifax area.

We have taken on many different kinds of projects from retaining walls to complete new walls that have to match in with their surroundings . This wall can be seen in the Idle village conservstion area of Bradford where our brief was to build a wall to enclose a recently purchased area so it could be used as a garden.

Insurance work is regulary undertaken and we have repaired walls that have been damaged by traffic accidents or collapsed under pressure from higher ground, severe weather conditions can also undermine a wall causing it to break down. We quote for insurance work in our area without obligation. Call Mark on 07986 661 828
