Our training courses are geared towards beginners and improvers as well as professional dykers.  The courses are held in our own training area at Denfind Farm and are informal and friendly - ideal for landscape gardeners, designers, dykers looking to improve their skills and people who may have never dyked but are interested in doing their own home projects.

One of the key learning points is that the course is being taught with new stone as opposed to stone from old dykes, this enables the clients to learn the skills necessary to achieve the best results using all types of stone for dyking.

The training is taken by our Stone Manager Dave Sinclair who is a Master Craftsman Dry Stone Dyker who has worked and taught throughout the UK and Canada.
