Created in conjunction with the Highland Stone Basalt Entrance Wall project, this Andisite wall involved Highland Stone from the begining. Working closely with the client, they helped design the shape and style of the wall, developed the strong foundations as well as quarried, supplied and laid local volcanic Andisite stone. Each stone was used, either on this wall or the Balsalt Wall, ensuring this project was on budget and timely.

About the
Professional

Stewart is from a little town in the highlands of Scotland called Lossiemouth. He has always been fascinated by historic stone architecture and took up an SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) Masonry apprenticeship after leaving school.  His training covered everything from restoration of heritage buildings (including castles, abbeys and churches) and laying stone on new builds.

In 2006, Stewart moved to New Zealand and took up residence in the Waikato.  He was one of the first people in the country to complete the new NZQA Certificate in Stonemasonry.

Following the Christchurch earthquakes, Stewart relocated to help with the extensive restoration work being undertaken.  After working away from home for a couple of years, he returned to the Waikato and is based in Cambridge doing all types of stonework.
