An ancient art that is both beautiful and timeless.

    Whistling Dwarf Stonework is proficient in all your stonework needs. Whether you are looking for retaining walls, stone fences, flagstone patios, walkways, garden features, or mortar work, together we can create something special for you to experience for years to come.
   
    Over the years we have been developing skills in all of the different types of stonework, and in doing so have discovered a passion for Dry Stone.  Dry stone  is one of the oldest types of construction and utilizes friction and physics to keep everything together. Because every stone is placed with structure in mind, it is the most durable type of stonework. Dry stone also adjusts to frost heave and settling over the years while maintaining it's strength, which is particularly useful in our Canadian climate.

    When Menno Braam first began working with stone in 2001, he quickly found himself drawn to its creative possibilities, and also its potential permanence. Over the years as he has developed his skills, he's striven to maintain a balance between aesthetics and structure.
   
    His experiences so far have led to several awards, and have given him the opportunity to
meet and work with some of the best master craftsmen in the world. Menno is a proud member of the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain, from which he has received two levels of certification, as well as his instructor certificate for teaching dry stone walling. He is also a founding member of the Dry Stone Walling Association of Canada, which like the UK association, is not for profit and promotes dry stone walling standards and awareness to the public through education.
