The villages
Driveways and gardens for Rutland's stone villages
Between the market towns sit the places that make this county what it is: limestone villages with Collyweston roofs, greens, and gardens that have been loved for generations. Working in them well takes local knowledge — of the stone, the ground and the setting — and that is exactly what a Rutland-based team brings.

Village by village
Where we work, and what we know about each
A few notes from the van — every village below is somewhere we have worked or quoted, and each has its own character to respect.
A1 SIDE Stamford-side villages
- Ketton: home of the famous Ketton stone — drives and walls here sit beside some of the finest limestone in England, and material choice shows immediately
- Empingham: large village by the Rutland Water dam; mix of period stone and modern homes, plenty of full garden projects
- Ryhall & Belmesthorpe: Gwash-side villages minutes from Stamford
- Great & Little Casterton: on the old Ermine Street; period frontages onto the lane needing careful levels
- Tinwell: estate village character — sympathetic finishes matter
- Barnack, Collyweston & Easton on the Hill: just over the borders, the slate-and-stone villages; Collyweston gave its name to the roofs on half the county, and new work has to live up to that company
VALE & WATER Oakham-side villages
- Langham: a large village north of Oakham, where generous plots suit sweeping driveways
- Whissendine: windmill village on the county edge; bigger gardens, longer drives
- Greetham & Cottesmore: active, growing villages — family gardens, artificial lawns, drive widenings
- Edith Weston: south shore of Rutland Water; premium garden and terrace projects with a view to live up to
- Exton, Burley, Ashwell, Braunston, Egleton: the Vale villages we cross daily — stone settings where buff and natural palettes belong
If your village is not named, it is still covered — nowhere in Rutland is more than about twenty minutes from our base, and we also work the border villages of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
Why village work is its own skill
- Materials that defer to the stone: buff resin, bound gravel, natural block and real stone edgings — never anything that fights a limestone frontage
- Conservation awareness: many villages have conservation areas; permeable, sympathetic builds keep projects simple
- Rural practicalities: long drives, unmade lanes, shared accesses, soakaway drainage where there are no mains gullies
- Local reputation: in a village, our last job is our advert — we are happy to point you to work you can walk past
