A BIT MORE ABOUT TRADITIONAL LANDSCAPING

Traditional landscaping uses natural stone and durable construction methods to create outdoor spaces that blend seamlessly with period homes and rural surroundings.

We regularly carry out a range of projects, from small character-led gardens and heritage property grounds to larger-scale estate landscaping or commercial groundwork schemes.

Whether it’s creating natural stone walls, patios, pathways, drainage solutions, or preparing ground for new builds and extensions, our team applies the same care, precision, and traditional craftsmanship to every project.

Stone Wall Re-Building & Masonry Repairs

Andy and the team are fantastic, they did an excellent job rebuilding our wall and would highly recommend them.

Cob Repairs & Lime Restoration

Andy has expert knowledge on cob & lime render. Upon discovery of the corner of our house walls coming away from each other, he worked hard and fast to rectify the situation. I have already booked him to re-render the rest of the house and have recommended him to friends and neighbours.

Cob Wall Restoration & Chimney Re-Building

Set in Stone undertook repairs to my cottage after a cob wall collapsed. This entailed enlarging and rebuilding the chimney from the ground up, replicating two slate capped shoulders, rebuilding a brick chimney stack and replacing sand and cement render on the entire front cottage wall with limestone render. Andy is a perfectionist. He and his team worked very hard in all weathers and I am delighted with the way my cottage looks now.
