I hired Nick to fix my collapsed dry stone wall last month. He was professional, knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. The wall looks beautiful and matches perfectly with the existing sections. He stuck to traditional techniques, finished on time, and left the site clean. The price was fair for the quality of craftsmanship. Highly recommend if you need any dry stone walling done!
