JH Landscaping provides dry stone walling and stone wall services in Kendal, the South Lakes, Cumbria and the Lake District. We build and repair stone walls for gardens, rural properties, boundaries, raised areas, entrances, landscaping projects and commercial sites.
Stone walls are one of the most recognisable features of the Lake District landscape. A well-built wall can define a boundary, support a sloping garden, create a raised planting area, frame a patio, improve the entrance to a property or add a traditional natural feature that suits the surrounding area.
We work on a range of stone walling projects including dry stone walls, mortared stone walls, boundary walls, garden walls, retaining walls, raised bed walls, stone steps, stone features and repairs to damaged or collapsed walls. Every project is planned around the property, ground conditions, drainage, access and how the wall will be used.
Unlike companies that only focus on walling, JH Landscaping can manage the practical work around the wall too. We can clear the area, excavate, prepare foundations, improve drainage, install patios, paths, turfing, planting and complete the wider landscaping around the finished stonework.
This makes us a strong choice for South Lakes properties where sloping gardens, heavy rainfall, rocky ground, rural access and existing levels need proper planning before any wall is built.
If you are looking for dry stone walling, stone wall repairs, garden walls or retaining walls in Kendal or the South Lakes, contact JH Landscaping today for advice and a free no-obligation quotation.
Stone walls in Kendal and the South Lakes need to cope with heavy rainfall, exposed weather, sloping ground, rocky soil and changes in level. Poorly built or poorly drained walls can move, bulge, lean, collapse or allow water pressure to build behind them.
At JH Landscaping, we look at the whole site before building. This includes access, excavation, ground levels, drainage, foundations, water movement and how the wall connects with paths, patios, driveways, lawns or planting areas.
This is especially important for retaining walls and raised garden areas. A wall that holds back ground needs more than good stonework. It needs the right preparation, support and drainage so it can perform properly over time.

Stone walls can be used to define boundaries, improve entrances, manage sloping land, create raised beds, support patio areas, frame outdoor seating spaces and improve the overall appearance of a property.
