Dry Stone Walling & Rural Landscaping in Gillingham, Dorset

The Somerset, Devon and Dorset countryside is defined by its stone walls, hedgebanks and traditional rural structures — and Brick Builds has the specialist skills to build, repair and restore them properly. Our dry stone walling and rural landscaping team works across Dorset on everything from ornamental garden walls and entrance pillars to agricultural boundary repairs, sunken retaining wall construction, estate walling and the restoration of historic field boundaries in Gillingham and the surrounding landscape.

Dry stone walling is a Heritage Craft listed by the Crafts Council as endangered — a skilled, exacting discipline requiring experience and patience rather than just labour. Our team in Dorset builds walls that will last for generations, using the correct local stone, correct coursing for the vernacular style of the area around Gillingham, and the right proportion of hearting to prevent slumping or collapse. We also restore and rebuild collapsed sections of traditional walls to match the existing character.

Beyond dry stone walling, our rural landscaping capability in Dorset includes mortared stone boundary walls, natural stone retaining walls, steps and terracing, sunken boundary walls for agricultural and estate settings, Devon hedgebank repair and restoration, and stone-built water features. If your Gillingham property includes traditional stonework that needs professional attention, we are the specialist contractors to call.
