Landscaping apps built for Greater Manchester weather, estates and lettings.

When heavy rain makes mowing or turf laying pointless, the office selects the affected jobs and the app proposes new slots based on each crew's capacity and route. Customers get an automatic message with the new date and can accept or pick another. Indoor or covered tasks, such as pruning under canopies, can be swapped in.

Many Manchester gardens sit on heavy soil that holds water. The survey form captures standing water, slope and downpipe positions with photos, so designers can price French drains, soakaways, raised beds or a rain garden accurately. The findings feed directly into the quote rather than a notebook.

Build-to-rent and residential blocks around Ancoats, Salford Quays and Castlefield often include courtyards, podium planting and roof gardens. The app holds each building's access arrangements, concierge contacts and planting plan, and schedules visits that respect quiet hours and resident amenity bookings. Residents can see when the next visit is due.

Letting agents and landlords can request a garden tidy or clearance between tenants through a simple portal, attach the inventory photos and set a deadline. Your crew completes the job with matching photos, giving the agent the evidence they need for the deposit conversation with the outgoing tenant.

Suburban maintenance rounds in Chorlton, Sale, Prestwich or Bramhall run on a repeating pattern. The app keeps each customer's frequency, tasks and preferences, rebuilds the round after cancellations and shows the crew the most sensible order between streets so time is spent cutting rather than driving.

Greater Manchester spans ten boroughs, and a crew based in Stockport loses half a day if it is sent to Wigan. The app assigns each crew a home zone, groups jobs by borough and postcode, and warns the office when a booking would pull a team across the conurbation. Unlike London and Birmingham, Greater Manchester has no charging clean air zone, so routing is about distance and traffic.

Spring feeds, summer hedge cuts, autumn leaf clearance and winter pruning are set up as templates that apply automatically to each maintenance customer at the right time of year. Crews see what the visit should include, and customers see why the visit looked different from the last one.

At the end of each visit the crew takes photos and ticks the tasks completed. The customer gets a short report the same day, which builds trust with owners who are at work, and gives you a record if anyone later claims a visit was skipped during a rainy fortnight.

For larger projects such as new patios, planting schemes or garden rooms, designers send quotes with photo references and alternative options. Customers approve in the app and pay a deposit, and the approved scope becomes the build team's checklist on the day work begins. Revised options keep their history.

Customers on maintenance plans pay monthly through card or Direct Debit set up via your chosen provider, and one-off jobs are paid by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Invoices and payments sync with your accounting package, so the office can see who owes what without checking bank statements. Failed payments are flagged automatically.
