The first half of 2014 has been very eventful, in March I travelled to Edinburgh to attend the Dry Stone Walling Association’s AGM where I was presented with my second full Pinnacle Award for the dry stone walling at Brackenrigg in Cumbria. This is my second full award, meaning Hugh Drysdale from Scotland and myself…

Three months of 2013 were spent on the Isle of Skye in Scotland constructing an impressive dry stone sanctuary on a beach. Probably the most complex structure Andrew has ever been asked to build using dry stone walling techniques.

2012 saw another collaboration with Cheshire garden designer Janine Crimmins, this time at the RHS 2012 Tatton Park Flower Show. The Mornflake Garden designed by Janine and built by Andrew and Phil Wilcox of Design Scape contained many complex stone elements. The garden won a gold medal and was also awarded best in show.

This year we built a garden at the Holker Garden Festival in Cumbria, designed in conjunction with Cheshire garden designer Janine Crimmins. It again contained much of Andrew’s trademark dry stone work and was very well received being awarded a Large Gold Medal.
