I BUILT MY WIFE HER OWN DREAM ISLAND IN MY GARDEN!
Embed
- Published on Apr 17, 2026
- My wife Tina has stuck by my side throughout this incredible journey. From the highs to the lows, from quitting my job and going full time on social media to attempting to build a £1,000,000 garden, she is the one person who has been with me the entire way. It’s about time I give something back to her…

Hi Mark I need your help for the Garden setting.
Well done Mark and everyone involved - the building is absolutely amazing!!!
Do you have a brother??
Me sitting here thinking I can somehow pull this off in my garden with not a single bit of machinery in sight.
A girl can dream 😂
Never say never
if you just mean the garden room, sure you can. People DIY these all the time, with great results, and at a fraction of the cost of getting a builder, or a company to build it. The savings you make by not paying someone else, can go towards some of the tools you'd need and better materials. No doubt the "pros" know what they're doing, but they also know where they can make savings on the build process, to maximise their profit... at the end of the day, it's why they've chosen to do that as a business, and that's 100% fair enough, we all have to make a living.
But 100% you can do it, I believe in you. Search youtube for garden room builds, it's honestly within most people's competence range.
Machinery just makes the job easier and quicker, anything is possible 😊
Hit the QR codes. Save a lot of £'s. This is why I like this channel. No B.S, open about income from social media and passes it forward. Trust when I say this as a tradesman: it takes a lot (!!) Of hard work and networking to develope a relationship with other trades and suppliers. Don't be shy to ask for mates rates. Word of mouth is a dam good reputation to build. It's trustworthy and exposes GOOD workmanship.
Lovely outbuilding...cogs arw turning now to fill a spot in my own yard. The prefab' is spot on and install was 2 days??? Amazing. ( I was sweating when she opened her eyes....please say it's nice please its nice!!😂😂😂) ❤
What a fabulous project Mark! Happy to be a part of it and we hope Tina loves her garden room for years to come 😊
Honestly can’t thank you enough it’s INCREDIBLE ❤
Its is stunning 😍
Sounds like your wife is a diamond and deserves her own island 🙌🫶🏻
Thanks sue she really is
24:54 boys didn't appreciate your Ace Ventura joke. I sure did!
Hahaha yes finally someone who appreciates it 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Oh I actually had tears in my eyes at the end, mark that is true love and soul put into this project, so much hard work to give her a space of her own. Your wife is the luckiest woman alive! 🎉🌸😍
💚💚💚💚
😂😂😂 watching as an American, I laughed when y'all said Dominoes was so good. My heart breaks for you Brits. Amazing job on the project! Your wife is going to LOVE that! Bravo to all involved!
Haha what’s your go to pizza place xx
Dominos is good, depending on how drunk you are… 😂
@TheBarefootedGardenerhaha
I have the smallest garden ever and 4 kids! 😂😅 I need your help Mark! 🎉😊
A staycation and a new garden, sounds good to me!!
Absolutely it was lovely to get away from the madness and the cabin is just Devine
Very cool. You need a bench outside the door for taking off shoes.
I agree ☝🏽 definitely some outdoor furniture will look lush on there
Hi, I came across your videos when you started your garden makeover on Facebook and saw all the amazing jobs you have completed on other peoples driveways and gardens. I would love to nominate my gran and grandad, they are in their 70s now but their front driveway has seen better days. Unfortunately with the cost of everything and their age they are unable to transform it. I’d love to make a small difference for them for all the help they’ve given me over the years! ❤
Me and my mates have a new inside joke; when we see a reasonably sized hole in the ground we ask "you know what this is?" "No" "thats an underground cinema, that is", if there's water in it we add "looks flooded, tbh"
😂😂😂😂😂 that's actually funny!
I wish I had friends too now cause that was very funny!
Please explain this joke I don't understand
@t2rks463 I think its because there's a thing with youtubers and hidden bases like a hidden movie theater or a hidden gaming room or whatever. Do their acting like the hole is an entrance to one or whatever.
I hope he got planning permission 😂
Ari has a nice smile. ❤
He sure does bless him
If you haven’t already, make sure to go back and watch all the videos on this garden transformation. AMAZING!!!!
Thanks Rachel
@MarkMarshall_LSH RACHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM GREENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN FROM FRIENDS
Mark dude, it doesn't matter what sh*t is thrown at you, you always have a smile. Please put me on your list of doings of gardens. Love your videos.
Thanks buddy really appreciate it 😊
Very satisfying to watch these videos, well done 👏
Thank you so much
27:21 Old Trafford behind you! We love United, we do! We love United, we do! We love United, we do! Ooo United we love you!!
🙌🏽
Rewatching this video again, amazing content and so so heartwarming we love it markey so happy for you and T bro ❤
You are the best Mike ❤
beautiful
Thank you
Love the part when you getting ready to show Tina and you well up. shows how much she means to you. Amazing job, Mark and team
Yeah he’s been an emotional bear with the whole garden for sure but it does mean everything to him ❤
Warmed my heart watching that part too and then the great reveal - the building is absolutely stunning!!! Well done Mark and everyone involved 🤩👍👍
it was a pleasure watching another of your vlogs full of positive vibes!!!
Poor nick, you showed the old fuseboard and said it was a good job🤣 didn’t even show the one he put in I bet he’s well upset
I don’t think he’s upset it wasn’t done intentionally
anyone else so invested and can’t wait to see the final result?? can’t wait for the end results!!😍
We are so invested
Wow!
I know the space is stunning, it looks amazing, but the most beautiful thing was Tina’s reaction.
Well done Mark and team 🫶 #priceless
It’s honestly so beautiful absolutely over the moon with it
@MarkMarshall_LSH❤
@barbaraleatham4542💚💚
@M@MarkMarshall_LSHree weeks in from this, a couple of questions. Firstly, have you had to send out a search party for Tina because she’s moved into this place? Secondly, can you see the TV from there and have you put Bluetooth speakers in so you can watch it in the warmth??
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💚💚💚
my amazing other half helping you carry in the mirror ❤ such an amazing surprise for Tina!
Awww Noway! Small world and thanks to your man 🙌🏽
😊woooo
❤❤
That was amazing to watch. I have a boring back yard with a small garden in. I have made a roughshod seat area but the rose bushes make it impossible to sit on. It would be wonderful to do something lovely in my yard. But I just don't have the money.
💚💚
Love how well this video is doing 😍 So proud 👏 💚✨️
It’s amazing isn’t it
Love the garden concept and seeing it come to life is amazing!
If you're up for a transformation challenge I've got a shocker of a back garden that has loads of potential but just sits idle and unused
It’s finally coming together for sure
Your garden sounds like mine 😅 I had drawn everything up with the attitude " how hard can it be".... turns out pretty bloody hard 😂😂
Definitely hitting the 1 million ❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s coming together!!! 👏🏻
It’s getting there 😊
Within 1000 guys ❤️🥂🍾✨️
🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Omg what a surprise for Tina! So deserved!!! 💚💚💚 So nice to see her so happy!!!! She has bloody excellent taste that's for sure 😍
So nice to see Stephen, Paul and Arry on the job 🥰 they don't half get around!! Nick is an electric hero!!! Some tidy cabling there. Don't know how he keeps track!!!
Hub of love got me 😂 😂
How amazing is her friend Aimee helping you style it all out!! So glad you managed to find a sofa. You always get so lucky, it's amazing!! Love the Olive tree in there 🥹🥹🥹 what's touch!!!
They did a grand job didn’t they! I mean id love to see how the interior would of looked if mark has gone about it without amie haha bless him
Couldn’t be happier it’s honestly like something out of a catalog
You will have to come for a vino or two 😊
@M@MarkMarshall_LSHthink maybe a formula 1 pit stop 😂 so glad you got a space for yourself.
I hope you get to chill in there and escape the chaos of all DIY 💫
I would love that!! 💚
@Zoeking5🫶🏽
Wow thats beautiful. Your wife is so lucky to have such an amazing hubby. I love watching your videos especially when Tina is in them as you can see how much you love each other.😊
Aww thank you 😊
Wow, I'm impressed by the skills and talents going into it. It is a beautiful tiny home.
Thank you
Stumbled across your project on Facebook. Just wanted to say how impressive this is going to look. I’m not the greatest when it comes to diy landscaping etc but give it a go to my best ability. Looking forward to seeing the finished project. All the best.
Literally just parked up for the evening and this popped up. Perfect timing
Enjoy
Congrats on 1 million views ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Not long till your driveway video does 1M too🎉🎉🎉
@SadiqAli_AydinistyI hope all of them do more than a million, I love to see them happy ❤
Yours next ❤
@MarkMarshall_LSH🤞🤩✨️
Lets goooooooo
😊😊😊
Indian takeaway and this channel. Sunday's made 💚
This video is doing AMAZING!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Enjoy Zo
@MarkMarshall_LSHalways guys 😎
@Zoeking5😊😊
I'm a licensed electrician from the States. Your electrician absolutely made me think of first year apprenticeship. Absolute gibberish. You guys accent is crazy, but great. Awesome video though. Fantastic job. Cheers from Indiana, USA.
Hearing Black Country Folk and a Stoke. 😊. Great surprise for the better half
These lads are mega
Unreal video! 💚💚
💚💚💚
only just found your channel that was absolutely incredible! great viewing !beautiful
Welcome 🙌🏽 appreciate you watching and taking time to comment means a lot so thank you 😊
Thats incredible… It’s my absolute dream to make our garden somewhere the kids can enjoy and play while they’re still young enough to enjoy it, but by the time I can afford it they’re going to be teenagers 😂
Doesn’t have to be expensive just spending time in a garden can achieve a lot weeding tiding up ect 😊
OMG!!!! It looks absolutely stunning 😍 how incredible, Tina you totally deserve this special space, you've put up with A LOT.... Brilliant video, loved every minute xx 🫶💚💚
Thank you Katie 😊
This garden is going to be amazing! What a journey this is, Mark! How great it would be if you could maybe transform my garden 👀👀👀
Thank you so much 😊
1M 🎉🎉🎉
Woohooooo
Watching this makes me realise how much a garden can mean to people. Mine has so much potential but right now it’s just an empty patch that never really gets used. I’d love to turn it into a place where I can host friends and family for football nights, summer BBQs, and hopefully even get a proper smoker going.
If I somehow won this makeover, I’d love a space where I can watch football outside, fire up the BBQ, try my hand at smoking some food, and actually enjoy the garden the way it’s meant to be used.
Love the creativity in your builds - the island idea was unreal. Whoever wins is going to have the best garden in the neighbourhood
These Cabinmaster buildings are lush 🙌😍
Ain’t they just

@Kath_with_a_K💚💚💚
Nice build man
You are amazing!
And so are you ❤
Correct me if I’m wrong but surely the timber frame shouldn’t be sat directly on the concrete pad?
You're not wrong. Not only that but I couldn't see any ventilation so that when there is water ingress (which lets face it, it's going to be in a pond, and we live in the UK) it will be very difficult for that moisture to evaporate. The timbers resting on that concrete will be moldy sponges in a year.
I know in many of his projects, he often uses permeable concrete, which allows for water drainage, primarily by eliminating the sand from the mixture so that is more like a bunch is heaven that's glued together than a solid stone block.
I'm pretty sure he wanted to use that as much as possible in his backyard because if the flooding issues.
Looks after his wife and followers, deserved the subscription. 100% easiest click
Thanks buddy much appreciated
Use solar bro. 1:39
I think he’s spending enough money 😂
In a place that sees minimal sun?
We thought about it but we need it to the main
😍😍😍
❤
This design is amazing. 🤩
Thank you
Wish I could have a partner like Mark 😔
💚💚💚
i love your videos so much
Keep hyping and liking!! This video is doing fantastic 💚💚
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is so amazing,what an incredible gift for your wife.i would welcome you and any of your team to work on my awful garden anytime. My attempt was very poor and super budget.
Thank you 🙏🏼
15k left!! Come on let get to the 1 Mill 💚💚
Wooohoooooo
This is so sweet ❤
Thank you ❤
Been watching your transformations for a while and love what you do. We’ve just moved into our first home together and spent 7 months renovating the inside ourselves. During that time I had an injury that required surgery and my girlfriend honestly carried everything, working full time, studying at uni, looking after me and still helping renovate.
Now that the inside is nearly done, our garden is basically a blank space and I would love to surprise her with a transformation like the ones you create. She deserves something special after everything she has done.
I know you must get this a lot, but if there was ever any chance you’d consider our garden for a future project or feature it would been the world. Either way, love your content and keep doing what you are doing.
OMG! Stunniiiiiiiiiiiing 💚
Thank youuuuuuuuu ❤
You young man are an absolute gem
Thanks buddy 🤜🏽🤛🏽
It looks amazing! Your wife’s face is a picture! 😊 Hi my name is Ffion. I live in south wales and my parents have been wanting their garden done for years, but can never find the time! They are the hardest working people I know and are both treasured by everyone in our community. They always put everyone else before themselves and I would love to give them this opportunity! 🥰
Family is everything to us and to have a space where we can all come together would be amazing. ❤️
Oh mate this is amazing!!
Thanks jade
Hype it🎉🎉
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Oh, the end had me in such happy tears!
Happy tears are ok 😍
Nicks quite the natural on camera, he should have a go at RUclips himself
He sure is and he does we have pinned his link in the comments check out his page 😊
A Japanese feel with a floating garden room! Enjoying watching the make over
Thank you 😊
Beautiful Mark! Tina really deserves this❤
Thank you 🥰
I have always longer for a garden, finally got one and now I'm too sick to do anything with it! I love living vicariously through you. Thank you!!
💚
Tina definitely deserves her own sanctuary 🥰👌🧡💚🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Lisa I can’t wait to enjoy the space
What a cool vid this was
Thank you
say this every week but honestly, what a guy
🤜🏽🤛🏽 thank you
Love this video! I got married on Tuesday to my rock. She stood by me while I built my business and now we’ve just bought our first house with a decent sized garden. Watching your videos is making me think I’m half capable at doing something special for her out there 😂Keep it up lad.
Absolutely lovely and certainly well deserved! Looking forward to the next episode
Thank you so much 😊
You have smashed it mate… you guys deserve all the best for chasing and realising your goals.. 👏
Thank you buddy

Yeah it’s not the smallest
Wow looks amazing
Thank you ❤
Wow, that is amazing. I really wish you would come and do my mum and dad’s garden. They are old and never really had much in life and served others always. Even something small would be amazing.

I loved your ace ventura joke made me laugh. Great job as always
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 makes me laugh every time
Perfect escape for Tina and very much earned 🎉🎉
It’s stunning 😊
Really enjoying this content, I wish my garden would look even half as good as this
