Driveways & landscaping in South Manchester

Didsbury, Sale, Altrincham, Hale, Urmston, Chorlton, Cheadle and Wythenshawe, and on into Stockport, across the M and SK postcodes. We stop short of Manchester city centre and we do not travel as far west as Chester—keeping to this patch is what lets us get out for a site visit quickly.

In England, laying more than five square metres of impermeable surfacing in a front garden generally needs either permeable construction or drainage to a soakaway or planted area inside your boundary; otherwise planning permission comes into it. We will talk this through at the site visit and design the drainage accordingly.

Usually, yes—it is a normal part of working in South Manchester. We check access at the survey and plan deliveries, machinery and spoil removal around it. If something genuinely will not work, we would rather tell you at that stage than on the first morning.

If you are creating vehicle access across a footway you will need a dropped kerb, and that is applied for through the local council rather than through us. We will flag it at the site visit and plan the driveway levels to meet the crossing correctly.

It depends on the size of the area, the access, and how much groundwork is needed underneath. We give you an expected duration with the written quote rather than a figure over the phone, and we tell you if anything on site changes it.

Yes. Excavation, removal and disposal of the existing surface and spoil are set out in the quotation so you can see exactly what is included before agreeing to anything.
