Marcus J.M. Booth | Founder Boothwrks, Inc.
With over 20 years of experience in landscape construction, Marcus is the founder of Boothwrks, a company he built from the ground up more than 15 years ago. What began as a landscaping and hardscaping company has grown into a full-service construction business, managing projects from demolition to full home builds, with a specialized focus on high-quality hardscape and outdoor construction.
Raised on a farm, Marcus developed a strong work ethic early in life along with a deep respect for the land, sustainability, and doing things the right way — not the easy way. That same philosophy is the foundation of Boothwrks today.
Marcus holds a university degree in psychology, which gives him a unique edge in the construction industry. He is known for his leadership, communication, patience, and fairness, and for guiding clients through projects in a way that makes them feel informed, comfortable, and taken care of. Many clients say that not only do they trust his work — they trust him as a person.
A former captain of both his varsity and junior hockey teams, leadership has always been a natural role for Marcus. Today, he leads his team and his projects with accountability, teamwork, and pride.
Above all, Marcus is a family man and a father of two. He understands that when he builds for a client, he’s not just working on a property — he’s working on someone’s home and the place where their life happens. That perspective is what drives his commitment to quality, honesty, and showing up for his clients every single time.

Scott’s Vacation House Rules SE03EP09
Cindy and Sean knew there was some major history to tap into when it came to their 150-year-old cabin on Sparrow Lake, and with the couple newly retired they were looking to use some of that history to create a memorable rental property. Unfortunately, the Simcoe County, Ont. lodge needed a bit of sprucing up in order to nab a desirable rental rate. That’s where Scott McGillivray and designer Debra Salmoni stepped in to save the day. See how they created the ultimate highland lodge that’s true to the original structure — but with tons of amazing upgrades!
