Sound on! Pointing ASMR
See those stones, all neat and tidy? That’s the magic of a good re-pointing job. We’ve used a breathable lime mortar mix 3:1 ratio to turn this path from a potential trip hazard to a smooth, elegant surface. At stonemasonry.xyz, we believe a path should be admired, not navigated with trepidation. We've filled those gaps with care, ensuring every stone sits just right. Now, you can finally walk without worrying about losing your keys (or your dignity) to a rogue gap. We’re all about bringing back the beauty, one perfectly re-pointed stone at a time. Your feet (and your garden) will thank you!

Gaps? We Don't Know Them. Re-Pointing That Makes Your Path Proud.
This garden path has character, we love that! But those gaps? Not so much. We specialise in re-pointing with lime mortar, ensuring we maintain the path’s original charm while giving it some much-needed TLC. We'll carefully remove the old, crumbling mortar and replace it with a breathable lime mix that respects the stones' age. It's about stability and beauty, not a complete makeover. We're the experts in gently nudging your path back to its best self, preserving every bit of its lovely, lived-in feel. Let's make it look great, without losing its soul.
