Our story
Marshalls & Son means exactly what it says
We are a father and son business at heart, with a close crew around us. When you call, you speak to us. When we quote, it is us who come out, look at the ground and talk you through the options. And when the work starts, it is the same family on site.
We have built the business the way good trades always have: one job done well at a time, and customers happy enough to recommend us to the neighbours. More than 20 years on, that still matters more to us than any advert.
Our office is on Milbourne Street in Carlisle and our depot is at The Lampstand in Canonbie, so whether you are in Cumbria, Dumfries & Galloway or the Scottish Borders, we are never far away.
What we stand for
Four things we never compromise on
Family first, always
The name on the van is our family name. Every driveway and garden we build carries it, so every one is built as if it were our own.
Straight talking
We lay every surface, so we have no reason to push one. If your old drive only needs a clean, we will tell you.
Done properly
The groundwork nobody sees is where we spend the most care. It is the difference between a drive that lasts and one that sinks.
You are kept in the loop
Customers tell us they were informed every step of the way. That is not a policy, it is just how we were brought up to work.
The people
The faces you will see on site
Our customers tend to thank us by name. One family in Workington thanked "Johnny, his son also Johnny, Darren, Gary, Liam and Rory" for a patio and driveway laid on an extremely hot day. That is the team, and that is how we like it.
