This blog is set up to help current and prospective clients understand how Borrowed Ground works, and our materials and methods to achieve our high quality dry stone walling structures and masonry services. I also want to take more time here, rather than on our website, to explore a wider range of experiences we have during the course of our days that is never revealed in the end product. Musings and threads too..

Welcome...
We choose to work as dry stone wallers because it lasts for centuries when built properly by trained and certified dry stone waller/masons. Currently I am certified by the Dry Stone Conservancy in Kentucky. I attend numerous workshops every year to continue to learn from other masons & artists, as well as teach. This year I was privaledged to contribute to StoneFest( www.stonefest.org ) at Marenakos Rock center in Preston, Washington.
This year we are now offering a full range of masonry services for clients in natural stone. The demand has been high for these services and I am lucky to have an excellent mason working with us that has 25 years of experience.
We only work with natural stone for clients. Concrete, Cultured stone, Alan Block materials are not natural stone. They are not even related to stone except by trademark.
