    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.

    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 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!

    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 landscaping services do you offer in St Albans?

    We offer a wide range of landscaping services in St Albans, including garden makeovers, patios, paths, turfing, retaining walls, steps and other hard landscaping work. Some projects are simple updates to improve one part of a garden, while others are full transformations. We tailor every job to the property and the way you want to use the space.

    Can you redesign an existing garden?

    Yes, we regularly redesign and improve existing gardens that feel tired, impractical or outdated. This can include changing the layout, adding new paved areas, replacing lawns, introducing steps or retaining walls, and generally making the garden more usable and attractive. We can help turn an underused outside space into something far more enjoyable and functional.

    Do you work on both hard and soft landscaping?

    Yes, we carry out both hard and soft landscaping as part of our garden projects. Hard landscaping includes things like patios, pathways, walls, edging and steps, while soft landscaping can include turf and lawn areas. Combining both elements properly is often what gives a garden its finished, balanced appearance.

    How much does landscaping cost in St Albans?

    The cost of landscaping depends on the size of the garden, the type of work involved, the materials you choose and how much preparation is required. Some projects might involve a new patio and lawn, while others are complete redesigns. We provide free, no-obligation site visits and quotations so we can assess your garden properly and give you a clear price.

Our guarantee reflects the quality and care we put into every job we complete.

    Can you help with ideas if I am not sure what I want?

    Yes, many clients come to us knowing they want to improve the garden but not yet knowing exactly how they want it to look. We can advise on layout, materials, features and practical ideas based on the size and shape of your garden, your budget and how you want to use the space once the work is complete.

    How long does a landscaping project usually take?

    The timescale depends on the size of the garden and the scope of work involved. Smaller projects may take just a few days, while complete garden transformations can take longer. Before starting, we’ll explain the likely timeframe clearly and keep you informed throughout the project so you know what to expect at each stage.

    Can landscaping improve the value of my home?

    Yes, well-planned landscaping can make a real difference to both the enjoyment and overall appeal of your property. A smart patio, tidy lawn, attractive paths and well-finished garden layout can all help create a better first impression and make your outside space more practical, which can add to the perceived value of the home.
