Renovation of garden wall with a pierre apparent finish - le Grand Pressigny

The garden wall which surrounds the courtyard had lost all its pointing mortar over the

years.

The result is a wall which becomes progressively more unstable as stones fall out, animals,

weeds & insects move in and the movement caused by adjacent tree roots do their worst!

By repairing the render finish in the traditional manner using a lime based chaux mortar, which is applied leaving the outer stones showing - 'pierre apparent', the wall looks better & is in a better condition to last a good number of years to come.
