Driveways, Patios & Gardens in Stretford

Nice & Tidy Landscaping is a family-run, fully insured team based in Failsworth. We build drives, patios, decking, lawns, fences and complete gardens across Stretford, and that includes Old Trafford and Firswood. Every job begins with a free visit and a written quote, with no obligation.

Stretford is a dense, built-up town of interwar and Victorian houses, with Longford Park as its main green space and the Bridgewater Canal running through. Gardens here are mostly compact. Back yards are small, front gardens are short, and side access is rare. That makes careful planning the key to every job, from fitting a patio into a narrow plot to laying a lawn that gets enough light between close-set houses. New lawns are the job we are asked about most.

Most Stretford homes are interwar semis and terraces, with older Victorian streets in Old Trafford. Gardens are compact. Terraces have small rear yards with a gate onto an alley, and many semis have a short front garden and a modest lawn behind. Close-set houses mean shade is common, so some lawns struggle for light. Access is usually tight, so we plan how materials come in and waste goes out before work starts. Good drainage and careful preparation matter most on small lawns, which is why we lay turf on levelled, improved soil.
