About CH Landscapes

Most of our work is for homeowners who have lived in a house for years and have reached the point where the garden no longer works: a patio that floods against the back door, a lawn that has given up, a drive that has sunk, or a space that was never finished properly in the first place. We are not building show gardens. We are building the garden a family actually uses, which means somewhere for the bins, a lawn that survives children, a patio that seats six, and a path that still drains in January.

Because we work the same streets every week we know what we are digging into. Altrincham and Hale sit on heavy clay that holds water, so falls, soakaways and channel drains matter as much as the paving. Sale and Timperley are full of 1930s semis with narrow side returns, so the skip and the material drops are planned before the first day. Chorlton terrace yards are small and overlooked, which makes the line of the boundary as important as the paving. Didsbury, where we are based, has deep Victorian gardens with mature trees and a lot of shade to design around.

Everything is priced before it starts. You get a clear quotation that sets out the work, the materials and what happens to the spoil, so you can plan around it. Nothing is subcontracted out to another trade and left half finished, and the site is tidied at the end of each day.
