Testimonial – Gary and Tammy in Barto – large dry stone wall

Thank You!

A job as big & difficult as the one you did for us made us a bit nervous to say the least. We are delighted to see it done so well and so professionally!

You are welcome and it was my pleasure to re-build your dry stone wall!

This one was an 8′ tall dry stone wall, in a narrow location, originally built 200 years ago, from 500 to 1,000 pound boulders. For years, the wall was in slow motion collapse, but how to repair it? There was no way to get any heavy equipment into that narrow space and therefore no contractors were interested in doing the work. But when I came on the scene, my answer was simple: I’ll build a gantry crane.
