I am a skilled craftsman and innovative exterior designer with many years of experience in re-vitalizing outdoor spaces. I graduated from the Interior Decorating Program at Eastern College in 2007. Then, I decided to take my technical training and natural eye for colour, space and style into the great outdoors where I am truly in my element. Driven by a passion for the outdoors accompanied by my decorating/design education and experience with dry stone construction, I founded Whittle Works in 2010. It's amazing what you can create with a pile of rocks!
Using locally sourced slate, fieldstone, granite and bluestone. Sometimes ironstone. I use an "old world" technique called dry stone where no mortar is used to hold the stones together...or apart, depending in how how see it.
I use gravity an skilled placement to construct my one of a kind structures. Dry stone allows for natural drainage, low maitenence and longevity. The building technique for these one of a kind structures allows for freeze and thaw in our harsh climate. Without mortar to crumble it is essentially flexible and forgiving. It will last for generations as it has for hundreds of years.
I guarantee all of my work. If for any reason a stone should shift I will return to fix it.
I build new structures as well as restorations on existing structures you may have on your property. I also repurpose existing materials you may allready have lying . No job too big or small.
