We get it, life is hectic. You are juggling work, family and a million other things, so your garden probably sits at the bottom of your to do list. But here’s the thing: your outdoor space is literally right there, staring at you every time you look out the window. So why not make it somewhere you actually want to spend time?
That is basically what we do at Riks Fencing and Landscaping. We have been helping folks around Stockport and Manchester sort out their gardens for years, and it never gets old seeing someone step outside their back door and actually smile at what they see. No more apologising for the state of the patio or hiding behind a dodgy fence.
Getting Started is Easier Than You Think
Most people think garden improvements have to be complicated. They imagine months of disruption and eye watering bills. In reality, it often comes down to one or two key changes. Maybe you just need a decent fence that actually looks good and keeps things private. Maybe your garden needs some proper structure with a patio or deck. Or perhaps you have got bare patches that just need some decent turf down.
We have spoken to hundreds of customers, and honestly, a lot of them did not know where to start. That’s fine, it’s what we are here for. Some people want a space where their kids can actually play without them worrying. Others just want somewhere nice to sit with a cuppa and a book. Some folks want to throw big garden parties. We can do it all!
Fencing is Not Just a Boundary
Fences are practical, yes they keep things contained, give you privacy and stop the neighbour s dog wandering into your garden uninvited. But they are also the frame for your entire outdoor space. A rubbish fence makes everything look a bit sad and neglected. A good fence actually lifts the whole place.
We supply wooden fence panels that look great and have real longevity if they are looked after. There is also concrete post and panel if you want something that requires less maintenance and will basically last forever. Chestnut palling gives you that lovely rustic vibe that works with older properties. If you are after something with a bit of character, picket fencing never goes out of style, especially on properties that need curb appeal. And then there are gates, which frankly make a huge difference to how your property presents itself to the street.
The point is, your fence should make you happy every time you look at it. Not just tick a box.
Beyond Fencing
Once the boundary is sorted, the fun part starts. We can help you think about how to actually use your garden space. Decking is brilliant for creating an area where people genuinely want to hang out. It looks great, it is comfortable, and suddenly your garden becomes an extension of your home rather than just a patch of weeds.
If you have got kids, proper turf is a game changer. Seriously. Fresh grass transforms an area into somewhere they can actually play without destroying their clothes or getting filthy within seconds. Well laid turf just makes everything feel nicer.
Patios and paving are where things get practical. You need solid surfaces that work. We can help you figure out what layout actually suits how you live and use your space to that effect. Some people want one big entertaining area, others prefer multiple smaller sections.
What Actually Matters
Here’s what we have learned doing this for years: nobody cares about having the most expensive garden or the trendiest design. What people actually care about is having a space that works for them and that they feel proud of, that’s it.
We’re not here to impose some fancy design vision on you. We listen to what you want, we offer honest advice based on what we have seen work, and then we get on with it. We treat your garden like it matters, because it does.
If you are anywhere in Stockport or Manchester and you are fed up with looking at your garden and feeling a bit deflated about it, give us a ring. We can pop round, have a chat about what might work, and go from there. No pressure, no sales pitch, just two people talking about making your outdoor space somewhere you actually want to be.
Your garden has been neglected long enough.
