Stonework, fireplaces and seat walls

Stone is the longest-lived thing in a landscape, so it is worth building properly. Curved stacked-stone seat walls that double the seating around a fire pit, retaining walls that hold a slope, steps, stone edging, and tall brick-and-stone fireplaces.

Each wall is built to the line of the garden it sits in rather than to a standard radius, which is why the curves follow the paving.
