Masonry/Walling

New Walling Products feature on DIY SOS

The Challenge: To provide a full site landscape of the highest design quality which is accessible while being fun and functional.

The products would have to:

  • Be resilient and suitable for Irish conditions.
  • Accommodate the vision specified by Peter Donegan (Landscape Architect).
  • Accommodate the special needs of the customer.
  • Be available to suit the tight project timeline.
Dry build walling
The Solution

Roadstone provided 9m2 of Roadstone’s Burren Dry Walling (Nickle Blend) which was used at the western side of the house to create a large raised bed.  This walling is a new Roadstone DIY product and comes in 2 colours (Nickle Blend and Pewter Blend) and in 2 sizes to accommodate corners and stretcher bond construction. The walling was constructed using an adhesive which can be purchased at your local Roadstone Retail Outlet.

The Result

The Burren Walling marked the boundary from the decorative gravel to the raised beds. This DIY product offered a lovely texture and warmth and complimented the selection of planting.

Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned

Roadstone Technical staff should always be engaged with before the beginning of large projects. This gives the client the full benefit of the project experience of Roadstone staff.

A Roadstone Retail outlet should be visited before commencement in order that customer can see and take-home samples of the paving or walling options.
