Transforming a sloped garden

Sloping gardens can be a problem for many properties around hilly Cornwall. Which is great news for those budding sledging enthusiast, but for most of us, they can be a nuisance. Adding tiers to a garden can be a desirable option for such plots.

This was the case for this property. The property owner enlisted the help of Sophie and Rob from Sophie's Transformation to construct the tier and finally, after looking at a few options, settled with creating a stone wall.

Small walling stone

They decided to go with our slate small walling stone. The small walling stone has been selected to have a face, making it ideal for this sort of construction. Work went under way immediately.

  • Small walling stone (loose)

    Our hand selected small walling stone is suitable for constructing masonry walls with mortar. Typically this Cornish stone would be used to face a wall that had been constructed from concrete blocks. It can also be used as facing stone for use in gabion baskets. These small walling stones are hand selected from Lantoom Quarry and are not cut to size. This gives a more random and traditional look compared to walls built from our sawn stone products. As one of our photos show, Cornish stone is great for incorporating into brickwork to create a really eye catching natural stone design. They come in random sizes and are selected to ensure they have a building face. If you order this material please choose one of the tipper truck delivery options.
