RLC DRY-STONE WALLING LTD

The landscape design and build genius (and fellow Yorkshire man) Mark Gregory contacted me in the summer of 2017 with the proposition of being on board with his team to build the Yorkshire garden 2018, a garden that ultimately attained Gold and Best Construction. Before I had agreed prices or even had confirmation from the sponsors, Welcome To Yorkshire, I was on my Triumph Bonneville and off to Wensleydale in the North Yorkshire Dales. I rode around the gorgeous countryside soaking in the influences such as the dry stone walls, the type of stonework used in the contruction of the houses and the flowing becks with their cascading waterfalls.

Then came the official word to get stuck in from WTY. I had a tall order to find all the materials for Mark's design. Realizing the size of the task I struck gold by approaching the Bolton Estate. They had everything I could wish for on their land. Dry stone walling, beautiful feature boulders and all the stone from the their beck I would need. We committed to return all the materials for the sake of the precious environment.
Then came the adventure of bagging and loading the stone for Chelsea. We went out to the moors whilst the snow was still on the ground,and the sleet was thrashing down. The only way to achieve an authentic garden is to use authentic materials and the best way to get a feel for those materials is to handle them in their environment. Then came the fine details such as the rusty fence wire, an abandoned swallows nest and a soon to be famous cow pat!

As you can see from the pictures , the whole thing came together wonderfully. The garden took on a life of it's own and will stay in my memory. A true high point....And here's to Chelsea 2019 , another Yorkshire garden !!

I would like to thank the Construction.co.uk team for their constant support in marketing my business. They created and manage my website and listings. Top people!
