It is deliberately practical work rather than design-led garden construction, and it pairs with clearance because the same crew, the same van and the same access are already on site. ### Who it's for Homeowners who want a garden they can actually use, landlords who need a low-maintenance outdoor space between tenancies, letting and estate agents preparing a property for photographs, and commercial clients tidying frontages and communal ground. ### When it's needed Immediately after a clearance, a strip out or a dig out, when the ground is open and the waste is already leaving site. That is the cheapest moment to do it: the access is set up, the van is there, and the material coming out and the material going down move on the same visit. ### Why professional help matters A cleared garden that is left as bare, uneven ground looks unfinished and quickly regrows. Finishing the surface is what makes the difference between a space that stays tidy and one that is back to knee-high in eight weeks. Because we are a registered waste carrier and insured, the green waste, turf and spoil taken off during preparation are removed legally rather than piled behind the shed. Leave it and it costs more ## What happens if it’s left Clearing a garden and stopping there is the most common way people end up paying twice. - Bare, disturbed soil regrows faster and thicker than the ground you cleared, so the problem returns within a season. - Uneven ground holds water in Manchester's rainfall, and a waterlogged garden is unusable for most of the year. - A property that photographs as bare earth lets and sells for less than one photographed as a finished outdoor space. - Turf and gravel delivered to a house with no crew booked means pallets sitting on a drive going to waste. - Bringing a separate landscaper back later means paying again for access, set-up and waste removal. ### Common mistakes we see - Laying turf or gravel straight onto uncleared, unlevelled ground, so it sinks, weeds through and fails within a year. - Skipping membrane under gravel to save a small amount, then re-doing the whole area. - Treating the spoil from levelling as something to deal with later; it is waste, and it needs a licensed carrier. - Booking clearance and landscaping as two unconnected jobs weeks apart. Our process ## How the job runs, start to finish - 1 ### Call or send photos Tell us the postcode and what needs shifting, or send a couple of photographs. We work out the volume and access from that: no waiting on a surveyor. - 2 ### Fixed price agreed You get one clear figure before anything is booked, based on volume, weight and access. It does not change unless you add to the job. - 3 ### Time slot confirmed We confirm a day and a time window, including evenings and weekends, and ring you before we set off so you are not waiting in. - 4 ### Cleared and swept Our crew does all the carrying and loading, segregates timber and metal for recycling, and brushes the area through before we leave. - 5 ### Legally disposed, documented The load goes to a licensed commercial waste facility. Pay by card, cash or transfer, and ask for a waste transfer note for your records. What you get ## Why customers book light landscaping with Fisher ### Finished, not just emptied You end up with usable ground instead of bare earth. Turf, gravel or clean levelled soil, with the edges tidied and the boundary cut back. ### One crew, one visit, one price The team that clears the space finishes it. No second contractor, no second mobilisation charge, no waiting weeks between stages. ### Spoil and green waste removed legally Soil, turf, cuttings and old surfacing leave with us as a registered waste carrier, with green waste separated for recycling rather than tipped as mixed rubbish. ### Low-maintenance options for lettings Membrane and gravel, or hard-wearing turf, keep a rental garden manageable between tenancies without asking tenants to do garden maintenance. ### Seven days a week We work 7am to 10pm, every day, so ground work can happen around tenancies, viewings and trading hours. ### Fixed price agreed up front Materials, labour and waste removal are priced together before we start, with a £60 minimum job value and larger schemes quoted individually. In detail ## Light Landscaping in Manchester: the detail that matters ### What light landscaping covers The work is practical, hard-wearing and suited to gardens and yards rather than show-garden construction. - Ground levelling, raking and preparation after clearance or a dig out - Turf laying on prepared ground - Weed membrane and decorative gravel or bark - Simple timber or board edging to hold surfaces in place - Cutting back overgrowth, hedges and border shaping - Topsoil brought in where levels need making up ### Preparation is most of the job Turf laid on unprepared ground is money thrown away. Roots, old surfacing, rubble and compacted spoil all come out first, the levels are corrected, and only then does anything go down. Where a base, path or heavy root system needs removing, the mini digger comes in as a dig out and the arisings go straight into the van. Preparation is also where most of the waste is generated, which is why doing it with a registered carrier on site is simpler than hiring plant separately. ### Manchester ground conditions Much of Greater Manchester's older housing stock sits on heavy clay with poor natural drainage, and back gardens in terraced streets are often built up over decades of made ground: broken paving, ash, rubble and old bases just below the surface. That is why so many turfing jobs here fail. We dig out and take away what is actually in the ground rather than laying over it, and where drainage is genuinely poor we will say that gravel is the sensible finish rather than sell you turf that will not survive. ### Residential and commercial Domestic work is back gardens, front gardens and yards across Manchester, Salford, Eccles, Stockport, Altrincham and the surrounding towns. Commercially it is landlords and managing agents keeping communal ground, frontages and bin areas presentable, usually alongside a scheduled clearance. Common questions ## Light Landscaping questions, answered straight Do you design gardens?No. This is practical landscaping: levelling, turf, gravel, membrane, edging and cutting back. If you want a designed scheme with structures and planting plans, you want a landscape designer, and we will tell you that rather than take the job. Can you clear and landscape in the same visit?Usually yes, and that is the cheapest way to do it. Small gardens are often cleared and finished in a day; larger transformations run across two or more visits. How much does it cost?It depends on the area, the ground condition, the materials and the amount of waste coming out. There is a £60 minimum job value and every scheme is quoted individually before anything starts. Do you supply the turf and gravel?Yes, materials can be included in your quote, or you can supply your own and we will price labour and waste removal only. What happens to the soil and turf you dig out?It leaves with us. We are an Environment Agency registered waste carrier, green waste is separated for recycling, and a waste transfer note is available on request. Will the weeds come back?Not in the same way if the ground is prepared properly. Removing root systems and laying membrane under gravel is what keeps a space manageable; nothing outdoors is permanently maintenance free. Do you work in winter?Yes, seven days a week, though we will advise against laying turf in frozen or waterlogged ground and suggest gravel or a later date instead. Can you do this for a rental property?Yes. Low-maintenance finishes for landlords and agents are a large part of this work, and we can work between tenancies with a key or a code. ## Where we work & what else we clear We cover Manchester and the surrounding boroughs within roughly a 20–30 mile radius.
