Driveways, Patios & Gardens in Oldham

Failsworth is part of the borough of Oldham, so this is our home patch. Nice & Tidy Landscaping is a family-run, fully insured team that builds driveways, patios, decking, lawns, fences and full gardens all over the borough. The visit is free, the quote is in writing, and there is no obligation.

Oldham's ground rises towards the Pennines, and the weather comes with it. Gardens here are often on a slope, rain is frequent, and many homes are stone terraces with tight yards. In Saddleworth, parts of several villages are conservation areas, where the look of walls and surfaces matters. Our work in the borough usually begins with levels and drainage, then moves on to the surfaces you will actually see and use every day.

The borough has a bit of everything. Stone and brick terraces run up the hillsides around the town centre, Shaw and Lees, often with small yards and steep steps to the back gate. Chadderton and Royton have plenty of semis with longer, flatter gardens. Up in Saddleworth there are stone cottages and farmhouses with old dry-stone boundaries, and conservation areas where materials need to suit the setting. High rainfall is the common thread. Clay ground holds water, so we check drainage on every visit, and we lay patios and drives with a fall that sends rain away from the house.
