Throughout the decades, Martin has left an indelible mark on numerous projects, showcasing his passion for landscape architecture. Some highlights include his work on the Summerlee Heritage Museum in Coatbridge during the 1980s, the Garden Festival in Glasgow in 1988, and his involvement in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes for the Highlands and Islands in the 1990s.

The 2000s saw Martin at the forefront of high-profile public realm schemes, leading the initial phase of the Glasgow International Financial Services District and Inverness City Centre, followed by Mansfield Park, Bellshill Town Centre and numerous urban regeneration projects in the early 2000s. Latterly, he has led LUC's work on the University of Glasgow's Western Campus, a £22m landmark project for Glasgow and the west of Scotland.

He has also played a pivotal role in numerous heritage projects, undertaking award-winning conservation projects that include Haddo Country Park in Aberdeenshire, Lews Castle Grounds on the Isle of Lewis, Mid Links in Montrose and recently the regeneration of Zetland Park in Grangemouth. He is also a Building with Nature Assessor with a passion for climate adaptive design of public spaces and parks award. Recently, this has included the design of Malls Mire Park in the east end of Glasgow.
