There are lots of lovely old stone walls all over Bagni di Lucca. They were new walls once.
We have found a great way to build a stone wall….call these men.
We called them and they arrived the next day with stones, the doings for cement, equipment and enthusiasm. I have never seen a group of men work so hard or so well. In days we had walls.

Rain stopped play for a while, but soon they were back at work.
And our first wall appeared as if by magic.
One day it might blend in with the old one.
The long wall grew quickly.
Once they had finished the stone walls we decided we needed a wooden wall above the long stone wall.
Now the wooden wall is just about finished and we can start planting our lavender and rosemary…and geraniums, aquilegia, daisies, roses, wisteria…..
They also built us a great barbecue.

Bella Bagni di Lucca 
The wall and the barbecue look great. Congratulations!
Casa Debbio is coming on. You must come up to see it soon.
You must cook as a pizza in this!!! So lovely!
We are very keen to cook something in our barbecue very soon.
Wow! Looks beautiful and very well done. Spot on with the addition of the wood fence!
It certainly makes our entrance look much more inviting. I can’t wait to get the plants in.
The wooden fence is already done!!! They started like 4 hours ago when we were at your place!!! They are amazing!
They are extremely good workers. They should be finished today.
Absolutely gorgeous, Debra – the wall AND the men! I laughed as soon as I saw the title of your post, as I was certain of the answer. Years ago, I hired my grad assistant, a big strapping guy with years of experience helping his mother in the garden, to help me build a short stone wall. He was as proud of that wall as he was of his guitar playing, bless his heart. I need to find more stone wall builders! It looks like you have an amazing planting space as well – every garden needs great structure and you now have it – salute!
I think it is going to look great when all the plants are growing.
Would they travel to Umbria?!!
I think it may be a bit far for them to go.
great post; i’ll definitely be keeping that name and number. your place is coming on leaps and bounds – well done.
The house will be ready to rent by the end of June. It is going to be gorgeous.
or pizza oven?! <:-D
I’ll definitely try cooking a pizza in the space.
Of course, there will be pictures of FOOD from the oven, too! <:-D
There will be pictures of food…soon.
see how I knew that?! <:-D
Oh my gosh!!! It is beautiful!!
It looks amazing…so much better than before.
Gazme renovated our whole wreck of a house 9 years ago.
He is the best!
Are you free to meet for a coffee and a chat at Monaco soon Debra?
I am hoping to be at Ponte on Sunday morning to plant the geraniums on the bridge.
But what about a pizza oven to compete with the neighbor’s?
We may be able to cook a pizza in the barbecue…I will be trying.
Goodness, you didn’t just have a wall in a hurry, you had a charming, attractive and very elegant wall in no time at all! Great pics, Deb! 🙂
You can also see how quickly the trees turned green in these photos. The walls were built over a couple of weeks. We lost several days because of the rain.
Thank you so much for this information. Looks like they did a great job. Wish I had known about them a few years back when we were forced to knock down our metado but your pictures have my imagination working overtime. Your property looks fantastic!
The men worked very hard. Some days they were working until it was almost dark, making the most of the fine days between the persistent rain.
Lovely! You will surely enjoy this wall and the plantings as they begin to grow and fill in. Amazing!!
I can’t wait to see the lavender and rosemary growing along the wall.
What a great team! I will definatley use them when I am ready to start building and renovating etc. Its is sometimes so surprizing to see such a structure go up so fast and done well at the same time. There is hope left in this world. Tell them they have another client soon.
People like these must have helped build Hadrian’s wall in the UK! Impressive.
