Drystone Walling

There is nothing more pleasing on the eye than natural stone to enhance any garden, landscape or property. Drystone Dykes are also very environmentally friendly and provide habitat and shelter for all sorts of small animals/birds/insects and reptiles. Maintenance costs are much lower than for example fences, which may last 15 years. A properly built Drystane Dyke should last at least 100 years. These traditional skills are now coming back into demand with the awareness that the traditional forms of land management are more beneficial to the native wildlife of this country. Schemes such as the Countryside Stewardship Scheme and the Farm Woodland Premium Scheme are now giving grants to landowners, to ensure that their boundaries and woodlands are repaired and maintained at a suitable standard to achieve a greater balance between successful agriculture and conservation.

NCS have a wealth of experience in dyking and would be pleased to offer you this service at a competitive price.
