​

Our Approach

​

At Heruteu, we believe in the enduring beauty and inherent strength of natural stone. Our team of skilled artisans is dedicated to creating structures and spaces that not only stand the test of time but also enhance the character and value of your property. We are passionate about building with stone, employing traditional techniques and sustainable materials, such as lime mortar, to create beautiful and long-lasting structures.

We understand that every project is unique. We take pride in working closely with our clients, listening carefully to their needs and aspirations, to develop bespoke solutions that truly reflect their vision. We achieve this through close collaboration, utilising visual aids like hand-drawn sketches, mood boards, 3D models, and material samples to ensure the design aligns perfectly with your preferences.

Our Services

​

• Traditional Stonework: From dry-stone walls with a sense of history to elegant paving that complements modern architecture, we bring expertise and artistry to a wide range of projects. Our work includes constructing traditional stone buildings using authentic methods and materials, like lime mortar, for a truly sustainable and enduring result. Our specialism also includes large-scale traditional retaining walls, drawing on our experience with projects like the retaining walls at Shuttleworth Botanical Gardens and our consultancy work in the Swiss mountains, most notably at Grand St Bernard. This experience gives us unparalleled expertise in constructing these types of hydro-resistant, large-scale walls. We are also adept at incorporating ancient techniques, such as Celtic Random Rubble, to create visually striking and authentic walls and structures.

• Landscape Design & Installation: We create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and functional, from individual features to complete garden designs.

• Historical Building Restoration & Conservation: We offer expert guidance for projects that require sensitive restoration and preservation of historic stone structures.

​

Sustainability & Craftsmanship

​

We are committed to sustainable practices and believe in using natural materials responsibly. By combining time-honored techniques with modern innovation, we create enduring landscapes that complement their surroundings. We prioritize responsible sourcing, locally sourced materials, traditional techniques, and the use of lime mortar to minimize our environmental impact. Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our portfolio, which includes notable projects at St Matthew's Church and Grand Clé in Switzerland.
