Welcome To The WALLS OF TROY
Anybody who knows me - Troy Allen of Memphis, Tennessee - will tell you I have a passion for stone walls and ancient ruins. I have traveled the world in my quest to study, photograph, appreciate and learn the ancient technique of stone application. Its rustic beauty and diversity in creating works of art is what drives my passion for using stone as my material of choice.
I want to create a backyard setting for you that is not only beautiful but gives you a private space to relax and de-stress from the outside world. In my opinion, one of the things that is missing from American architecture is the lack of private outdoor space that comes with a beautiful enclosed courtyard.
Outdoor Fireplaces / Courtyards / Outdoor Kitchens
We specialize in creating custom designed outdoor fireplaces / kitchens and courtyard designs. My goal is to enhance your landscape with the beauty of stone. The average family today spends a lot of time enjoying their backyard and creating a beautiful setting with an outdoor fireplace is the perfect back drop to enjoy those cool evenings and my courtyard wall design helps to create a relaxing atmosphere to spend with family and friends.
Don't think because you have an ordinary backyard you can't enjoy the seclusion of a walled garden just outside your backdoor. We specialize in building custom garden walls not on your property line but within your backyard, so you don't have to worry about height restrictions. We will leave a green space between the courtyard and your property line.
Picturesque Ruins / Landscape Design
Have you ever seen the ruins of an old stone castle or barn and been fascinated with it and want something truly unique for your large piece of property call me for a consultation. We will transform an ordinary piece of land into something very picturesque and unique. When we are done, a walk through your property will be like in the English countryside, with stone walls, scattered ruins and stone bridges.
Additional Stone Art Ideas And Services
Stone Gates
No country estate is complete without a massive stone gate at the entrance of the property. Let me build you a rustic old gate looking like something left over from the Romans or Medieval days.
Standing Stone And Stone Circles
Everybody knows about Stonehenge. Who doesn't like to see a circle of ancient standing stones in a an open field, there's just something very mysterious about them. I can design and build something like that for you with huge slabs or my own unique creation of a conglomerate of rubble.
Golf Course Enhancements
My stone walls and scattered ruins can enhance the otherwise plain landscape of the average golf course. Create a rustic atmosphere that will not only inspire golfers it will also create a picturesque view from the club house.
Roadside Art
Municipalities are welcome to contact me for building roadside works of art. A picturesque ruin would look wonderful alongside a highway or in a city or county park.
Hiding Eyesores
There is nothing worse than seeing the beautiful countryside or city landscape blighted by some ugly electrical substation or other industrial site. My picturesque ruins can cover up eyesores and turn an otherwise bleak site into something interesting and nice to look at.
