A Cornish hedge is an earth or subsoil bank faced up each side with stone. Cornish hedging and walling in natural stone is one of the oldest skills in the world being carried out today. Evidence shows that well over 4000 years ago man was building stone wall using natural stone in West Cornwall.

We have used our skills on a variety of schemes such as road improvements, housing development, pipelines, windfarms, schools, the Eden Project, Hampton Court and Chelsea Flower Show, commercial developments etc.

Why are they called 'hedges' not 'walls'? Because they are living things. Part of a hedge is the vegetation that grows on it, this can be grass, flowers or trees. Stone hedges are environmentally friendly barriers and are a host for reptiles, small mammals, moths, butterflies and bees as well as providing a home for many nesting birds.

Although dry stone walls are built over Britain, and indeed the world, the Westcountry specialty is the Cornish Hedge.
Roger and his men have built over 130 miles of Hedge in the last 26 years.
