	Entrance Walls Traditional drystone walls built incorporating internal stone and cement/slurry mix, providing an age old style of walling with added strength and durability. This technique also enables a more verticle wall face than traditional slighly tapered, two sided field walls, which are generally filled internally with waste stone/soil.
	Dry stone retaining walls Traditional dry stone walls constructed using high quality quarry ‘building stone’ and backfilled with quartz rubble. This style of walling is very durable and aesthetically enhances landscapes and older gardens with an historic feel.
	Drystone walls and steps Dry stone walls with steps and return walls, incorporating cement/slurry backfill, provide great access to retained levels, stability and traditional aesthetics.
	Courtyard dry stone walls Dry stone retaining walls that are built in smaller courtyards provide a backdrop to outside living areas and create an aesthetic outlook from inside living areas.
	Mortared walls Mortared walls and gate entrance walls like this heritage replication, made from bluestone/limestone have an intrinsic place in South Australian building and landscaping. This particular wall has been modelled on heritage buildings on the Mclaren Vale property. The bluestone courses on lower third as a damp course and limestone for top section.
