One person runs your job, start to finish.
MT Developments designs and builds patios, driveways and gardens within about 20 miles of Dunstable. You deal with Chris from the first visit to the final sweep.
// Meet Chris
Engineer, and tradesman.
You need both, and you shouldn’t have to hire two firms to get them.
I’m Chris. I started MT Developments after five years on the tools and a degree in mechanical engineering. I do the first visit, the design and the price myself, and I manage every build personally.
The engineering shows in the parts you never see: how the ground drains, how deep the base goes, what a wall has to hold back. The trade shows in the finish.

// Why we started
Built the way it should be.
Too many homeowners are let down by builders who price from a glance, cut the parts you can’t see, and go quiet halfway through. We set up to do the opposite.
-
The price
Too oftenA price from a glance, that grows once the work starts.
With usLevels, drainage and ground checked first, then a fixed price that never goes up without your signature.
-
What’s underneath
Too oftenA thin layer of hardcore, which is why so many patios sink.
With usA proper stone base, the right depth for what will sit on it, laid in layers and compacted so it stays put.
-
Where the water goes
Too oftenFalls guessed on the day, and the water left to find its own way.
With usFalls and drainage worked out before we dig, so water runs away from your house, not towards it.
-
Who you deal with
Too oftenSomeone to sell it, a crew you’ve never met to build it, and silence in between.
With usOne point of contact. The person who designs and prices your job manages the build, and answers for all of it.
-
When things change
Too oftenChanges agreed on a nod, and a bigger bill at the end.
With usEvery change priced in writing before we do it. Guarantees in writing before you commit.

Reviews left on Google by homeowners we’ve designed and built for.
Read them in full“They redesigned our whole back garden and it’s made a huge difference. Chris listened to what we wanted and showed us 3D drawings so we could see how it would look before the work started. … We now spend so much more time outside … 100% recommend.”
“They are polite & considerate & very easy to work with. Their quality of work was great. … It’s beautiful & I’ll be wanting to spend all day either sitting out there or just staring at it from indoors!”
“Chris helped us plan out the design from the start. He listened to what we wanted, showed us different layouts and material options, and then mocked up a few visuals to help us picture it properly. … It’s completely transformed our garden … it feels like we’ve added an extra room to the house.”
“Had my patio brought back to life. I’m so pleased with the work Chris and Co have done. Work completed in 5 days. I can now sit outside for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
“MT Developments gave a competitive price and probably the best communication pre and post works of any trades company I have dealt with. The guys on site were super nice, worked really fast and cleaned away. … Couldn’t be happier and would be happy to recommend.”
“From 1st communication with Chris to completion of the project, we were very impressed. … Chris’ attention to detail was incredible. … The final result is more than we ever could have expected.”
“MT Developments gave us the lovely low maintenance garden we asked for. Great hard working team. Excellent communication with Chris. He made sure we were completely happy with the results which we are.”
