Recommendation for patio and other hard landscaping

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to recommend Martin Terebessy ([email protected] ; mobile 07514045390).


Martin and his colleague Rusty have just completed a patio for me on time and on budget. Aside from being thrilled with the results I have to say that Martin was a pleasure to work with. He was genuinely interested in doing as good a job as he could and was happy to alter details of the project as it developed. He was very well organised and meticulous in planning, prep and execution. He cleaned up each evening and he always returned emails in good time. All in all a good experience.


If any of you are looking for a good hard landscaper then give Martin a call, I doubt you'll regret it.

Another recommendation for Martin, basically echoing everything said above. Martin revamped our entire front and back gardens. He excavated the entire front section of the garden, levelled it, built a driveway and laid a black and white Victorian path. He also built an ingenious bike rack/shed at the side of our house so that our bikes now hang on the wall rather than living in the house which they had done. He then prepared the back garden for planting, dug beds, laid borders, installed lighting and re-painted our decking. He replaced fencing, put up a external door and replicated a really cool slatted batten fence that I'd seen in a magazine. He was tidy, considerate and a real pleasure to have around - even my neighbours loved him! Nothing was too much trouble, he answered emails/texts quickly and came up with loads of great ideas along the way.


A brilliant hard landscaper who is clearly very proud of the work he does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. If you want more info please PM me.

And yet another recommendation for Martin! He spent four days here this week building us a really amazing patio (circular brick pattern) with real attention to detail and taking obvious pride in his work. He's an artist! He also laid us a new lawn and re-landscaped our front step/drive in that time. He is a lovely person to work with - reliable, straightforward and, above all, a really nice bloke.


The only downside is that he's so good he is booked up for months! But do let him quote for you as he managed to squeeze us in much sooner than we expected.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
