Stone mason in Newlyn

Newlyn climbs steeply from the harbour, and almost every garden here is a terrace held up by a wall. Retaining walls are the bread and butter: rebuilding ones that have bellied out, and building new ones so a slope becomes a level patio or parking space.

Salt air and driving rain off Mount's Bay are hard on mortar, so pointing and the choice of stone matter. Granite setts suit the steep drives too, giving grip where smooth slabs would not.
