# Dene Clatworthy Master Bricklayer

Dene Clatworthy is an award-winning master craftsman based in Exeter, Devon, with over three decades of experience in brickwork and landscape construction. His business caters to homeowners and organisations seeking high-quality outdoor and building projects executed with exceptional attention to detail.

What distinguishes Dene from standard builders is his dual expertise as both a skilled bricklayer and accomplished garden designer. He has won Gold Medals for garden design and construction, drawing inspiration from West Country heritage and incorporating local materials into his work. His credentials extend beyond typical domestic projects—he has constructed features for the BBC and the prestigious RHS Garden at Rosemoor, demonstrating his capability with high-profile commissions.

His portfolio encompasses brickwork, stonework, patios, paving, landscaping, dry stone walling, water features, ponds, fireplaces, and artistic sculptures. He also offers garden design services and general building maintenance. Rather than relying solely on portfolio images, Dene regularly exhibits at trade shows where he conducts live demonstrations, giving potential clients direct insight into his craftsmanship and approach.

The business model emphasises personal consultation, offering free estimates to discuss individual project requirements. This accessibility, combined with his published author status and media appearances, reflects someone genuinely passionate about his craft rather than simply chasing volume. For clients wanting bespoke, professionally-designed outdoor spaces built to exceptional standards by someone with verifiable expertise, Dene Clatworthy represents a premium local option.
