# Hedges and Walls
Hedges and Walls is a specialist countryside crafts business based in Matlock, Derbyshire, operated by Richard Hathaway. The company delivers expert hedge laying and dry stone walling services to both residential and agricultural clients across the Midlands.
The business serves landowners, farmers, and homeowners requiring professional boundary maintenance and landscape construction. Whether managing field hedges that define agricultural landscapes or creating bespoke garden hedges, the team applies traditional techniques refined over generations. Their stone work expertise spans new wall construction, comprehensive repairs, and structural features including gateways, steps, and gabion baskets.
What sets Hedges and Walls apart is their mastery of regional hedge laying styles—both Midland and Derbyshire Bullock methods—demonstrating deep knowledge of local heritage practices. Their dry stone walling credentials are equally impressive, combining traditional craftsmanship with understanding of contemporary landscape requirements. The business distinguishes itself through versatility: equally comfortable executing large-scale field projects and intimate garden interventions, whether working with mortared or dry stone techniques.
Professional credentials reinforce their standing. Membership with the Dry Stone Walling Association (DSWA), Lantra certification, and Countryside and Good Neighbour accreditation demonstrate commitment to industry standards and best practice. This combination of traditional skill, local expertise, and formal professional recognition makes them a trusted choice for anyone seeking authentic, expertly-executed hedge and wall work in the East Midlands.
