Patios, bricklaying, landscaping and driveways, all done by our own hands.

Every job is quoted, planned and built by Marcus and the team, never passed on to another company. Here's what that covers.

Marcus has laid a new porcelain patio and artificial lawn for us. He is a very skilled landscaper who cut and created fantastic circles from the porcelain tiles. He came recommended by our stone supplier and we would be very happy to recommend Marcus to anyone requiring a high standard for their landscaping. He is very conscientious and prides himself on his attention to detail. We are so pleased with our new “showhouse” garden!

My team and I do every job ourselves, start to finish.

If you're looking for someone to freshen up your garden and home, look no further. At M. Whiteman Landscape & Bricklaying we specialise in patios, bricklaying, sleeper/rendered planters, decking, block paving and turfing.

We do not subcontract out our work to other companies, meaning we keep the high standards we pride ourselves on. We do not cut any corners, and everything we install follows paving/landscaping guidelines.

If you'd like to know more about us, get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.

We cannot thank Marcus and his team enough for the fantastic garden transformation they undertook for us. We have never experienced such handwork, dedicated and professionalism from a great team of experienced trades people. From the initial quote to the finished job Marcus gave us every care, understanding and attention to detail. We have fallen in love with our new Mediterranean garden! We would highly recommend Marcus to our friends & family and anyone else looking for the ultimate garden makeover team! Well done and thank you. Paul & Kelley Gray

My partner found Marcus online and had really good reviews. We asked him to pop over for a quote which he completed very quickly and confirmed spec of what we wanted. Turn around was rapid even due to the bad weather him and his team got completed on time and we are very happy with the result. We even made some last minute changes which he was able to accommodate at short notice. Thrilled with the result and am planning on getting him to do the front garden in due course. Would highly recommend him and his team, very courteous and helpful throughout.

Marcus and his most brilliant young and positive team of Mark, George, and Harry transformed our very awkward garden into a little wonderland. There were parts we were very indifferent about before he started. All that changed in 8 days of hard works and caring attention. I would sum up Marcus as highly attentive, Aware of customers ambitions, great communicator, excellent coordinator, highly creative, and ready to deliver with minimum fuss and bother. His team of george , Mark and harry are totally in tune with his ethos and do jobs with great care and attention. They are sensitive to the spaces they are redesigning and also issues regarding keeping your neighbours on board when you need access and cooperation from those next doors. Marcus runs a brilliant outfit and we feel very lucky we caught him now, as surely he will become a much sought after landscape gardener of the highest order giving excellent value for money. He is a great choice if you want creative thinking and to change your garden in a very positive way! We are so thankful, Cheers to you and your team. Carol & Doug of Upper Dicker.

I recently had the pleasure of working with M. Whiteman Landscape & Bricklaying to completely overhaul my garden, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. What was once a plain grassy area has been transformed into a multifunctional outdoor space that exceeds all expectations. Marcus and his team began by carefully removing the existing grass which had been obliterated by leather jackets bugs and designing a layout that included decking, artificial turf, a raised flower bed, a water feature, and a new patio area. Their attention to detail was evident from the start, as they meticulously planned every aspect of the project to ensure both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The decking they installed not only provides a stylish focal point but also offers a practical area for outdoor dining and relaxation. The artificial turf is a dream – it looks incredibly realistic and requires minimal maintenance, making it perfect for busy lifestyles. The raised flower bed adds a charming touch of greenery, bringing life and colour to the space, while the new patio area has become the ideal spot for hosting gatherings and enjoying the outdoors. Throughout the project, Marcus and his team demonstrated professionalism and expertise. They were punctual, courteous, and always kept me informed of progress. Their craftsmanship is second to none, with each element of the garden completed to the highest standard. I couldn't be happier with the end result. My garden has been transformed into a beautiful and functional extension of my home, thanks to the skill and dedication of M. Whiteman Landscape & Bricklaying. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to enhance their outdoor space with quality landscaping work.
