Mark and his team removed a tired 20 year old patio and repaired and replaced it with new slabs and brickwork. Very pleased with outcome and the short turnaround providing us with a new patio to enjoy for the new season. Many Thanks

We have wanted to extend and replace our patio for several years now and after some research contacted Mark at MT Paving and Landscaping. Mark came round to discuss the patio project and what the works would entail. From our first meeting I knew this was the company that I wanted to use due to Marks professional approach and advice on the slabs and size of patio that would work best with our late 1930’s home and garden.
Mark and his team started the project a week ago and finished today. We have no side access so Mark and his team had to bring all materials through the house (and remove old materials) which was a hell of a task. They did this without causing any damage and swept up every evening. I take my hat off to them.
We now have a stunning patio and double the size so that we can actually now use it as a family and can now entertain friends without falling into the old flower beds.
The patio looks fantastic and enhances our garden. The workmanship is first class with every Indian Sandstone slab cut and laid perfectly. Not only will this enhance our lives as a family but it will also definitely add value to our home.
Thank you so much Mark we are delighted and we couldn’t recommend MT Paving and Landscaping highly enough. 💯🤩

We had a issue with rats digging under our block paved drive. Mark was quick to respond to my enquiry, a relief as it's only a small job and I feared he would not be interested. He was able to find a couple of half days to fit us in and, thankfully, once the damaged area was dug up, the problem was soon determined and repaired. It was a fixed-price quote so lucky for both of us that it wasn't as bad as it could have been and everything was finished to a very good standard.

I hired Mark and team recently to redo some block paving and fence work and they have done a great job. They worked straight through the rain to get as much done as possible, then came back promptly to finish the parts that couldn’t be done in the bad weather. They also sorted out a few issues that popped up afterwards without any fuss. Really solid work and great service — would definitely recommend them

Mark and the team did a wonderful job removing our tired old decking and laying a beautiful Indian sandstone patio. They overcame several complex challenges during the week, making recommendations at various points to ensure it aligned with our vision for the space. Professional and friendly. We'll be getting them to return later in the year to level up our lawn.

We had a great experience with Mark, Tommy-Lee and the team from MT who turned our unfinished wasteland into a fantastic sandstone patio that connects right down the side of our house.
Mark's expertise helped us determine how best to work with the extension left unfinished by previous owners - identifying challenges and providing solutions we were happy with. Mark was respectful of our budgets and helped plan realistically too.
Once on site, the team were pleasant and courteous to be around; especially kind and friendly to my curious 4 year old when she wanted to say "hello". It's messy work but within reasonable expectations things were done tidily and with no damage or incidents to our property and minimum inconvenience with deliveries etc.
The final product is a high quality finish, delivered in the predicted time frame and sticking to budget. It is just what we were hoping for. I would happily recommend Mark and the team.

I recently worked with Mark from MT Paving & Landscaping on a project at the end of my garden, and I’m really pleased with the results.
The transformation looks better than I expected, and Mark and his team were friendly throughout the process. I’ll be reaching out to Mark for future projects and would highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve their garden.

We had a patio laid by Mark and his team a couple of weeks ago in August. The quality of the work is excellent and it's turned our garden into a much nicer space that we can actually use. Mark worked with us to decide on the best option to make the layout work, especially after discovering an older patio beneath our old decking. All in all we're very happy with the job and now we're hoping the weather holds out a bit longer so we can make use of it. Only problem is now we need to get the rest of the garden up to standard....

Mark and his team did a fantastic job removing our old decking and laying an Indian sandstone patio. Mark was very thorough when it came to the quote and made sure we understood all our options. His communication was great and we felt in safe hands. The job was done to a very high standard within good time and the site was left tidy and clear. We were very impressed and will be returning next time we have a landscaping task!

Mark and his team were fantastic from start to finish. It is fair to say that my garden was A JOB. It was in a huge state, with loads of gravel everywhere, uneven lawn, overgrown beds and a huge mass of bamboo and trees. Mark listened to what I wanted and immediately got it, but gave advice on what he recommended to keep costs down.
Once he started the work, the whole team worked hard and were all absolutely lovely. They basically gutted the place and started from scratch…bamboo gone, brand new lawn, two new patios, new sleeper beds… The outcome was amazing and I am so happy with my new garden, it looks incredible.
I highly recommend Mark and his team, you can’t go wrong. Thank you!

Mark and the guys very efficiently made me a new wall. Easy to deal with, very quick turn around time, lovely wall and all tidied away afterwards. No extra charges on top of the original quote either.

I contacted Mark as I like to use local traders if I can. He exudes professionalism and after he'd inspected the job and given me a quote we did the deal on a handshake. Mark and his crew worked hard to clear an old bed and match in new paving on my drive. They weren't happy with the result on day one, but rather than rush it and get away, they came back the next day to finish it properly. Very happy with the results

I recently employed Mark and his team to redesign a driveway on a property. The driveway needed to be split into two to allow for access to a new development soon to be built on the land behind. This works included replacing a small lawn with block paving, erecting a new fence as well as installing a trellis around the existing fence for some extra privacy for the homeowner ahead of the building works starting.
I was most impressed with the work that Mark and his team carried out as was the homeowner most importantly. They completed the job in the time promised, left the site clean and tidy and the job was reasonably priced. I would highly recommend MT Paving and Landscaping and will certainly be looking to use them again myself in the future.

FAQ's
What is the best material for a driveway in St Albans?
The best driveway material depends on the look you want, how the space is used and your budget. Block paving is very popular for its appearance and versatility, while gravel, tarmac, resin and concrete can also be excellent choices. We can talk you through the options and recommend the most suitable material for your property and requirements.
How long does a new driveway last?
When installed correctly with proper groundwork, a new driveway can last for many years. The longevity depends heavily on the quality of the base preparation, drainage and chosen materials. At MT Paving & Landscaping, we use proven installation methods to ensure your new driveway remains strong, stable and attractive over the long term.
Can you replace an old driveway completely?
Yes, we regularly remove tired, damaged or uneven driveways and replace them with entirely new surfaces. This can include changing the material, redesigning the layout or extending the driveway to create more usable parking space. A full replacement is a great way to improve both the appearance and practicality of your property.
How much does a new driveway cost in St Albans?
The cost of a driveway depends on the size of the area, the material you choose, the level of preparation needed and the design itself. Every project is different, so we provide free, no-obligation site visits and quotations to assess the space properly and give you a clear, accurate price based on your exact requirements.
Do you offer a guarantee on driveway installations?
Yes, all of our driveway installations come with a 5-year workmanship guarantee for added peace of mind. We are also fully insured, so you can feel confident that your project is being handled professionally from start to finish. Our guarantee reflects the care and confidence we put into every driveway we install.
Can you extend an existing driveway?
Yes, we can often extend an existing driveway to create additional parking space or improve how the front of your property works. We can advise on layout, materials and whether we can match the existing surface or whether a new finish would work better. Extensions are a practical way to add more usable space without starting from scratch.
How long does driveway installation take?
The timescale depends on the size of the driveway, the material chosen and the amount of groundwork required, but many driveway projects are completed within a few days to around a week. Before work starts, we’ll explain the likely timeframe clearly and keep you informed throughout the project so you always know what to expect.
Can you advise on the best driveway design for my home?
Yes, we’re always happy to advise on the best driveway design, layout and material for your property. We take into account the style of the house, the amount of parking space needed, access requirements and your budget. The aim is always to create a driveway that looks right, works well and adds lasting value.
