Bromley's varied garden layouts present unique pathway challenges. Those steep slopes near Sundridge Park require careful planning for both drainage and stability. Many BR2 properties feature mature trees whose roots have lifted existing paving over decades. Creating functional routes that work with your garden's natural contours takes local knowledge and proper groundwork.
Material selection depends heavily on your property's architecture and usage patterns. Yorkstone suits period homes throughout Bickley perfectly, while contemporary resin-bound surfaces handle the heavy footfall common in family gardens. Permeable options prove essential where clay soil dominates—particularly in lower BR3 areas prone to waterlogging. Each installation begins with thorough ground assessment, ensuring proper sub-base construction prevents future settlement issues.
Fifteen years working across Bromley means understanding which materials weather best in our climate. Local suppliers provide consistent quality stone that matches existing features found throughout BR1's conservation areas.

Basic gravel paths start around £65 per square metre, while natural stone installations range £120-180 depending on material choice. Resin-bound surfaces typically cost £85-110 per square metre. Most BR2 gardens require 15-25 square metres for a standard pathway project.
Absolutely—from the conservation zones of BR1 through to the leafier streets of BR2 and BR3. Regular projects in Shortlands, Bickley and Sundridge mean we're familiar with local planning considerations and typical garden layouts throughout these neighbourhoods.
Simple gravel paths often take 2-3 days including preparation. Stone paving projects typically require 4-6 days for proper installation and pointing. Weather permitting, most Bromley gardens see completion within a working week.
Every pathway carries decade-long protection against structural failure. This covers settlement, frost damage and workmanship issues—essential given Bromley's clay soil movement. Annual inspections help maintain warranty validity.
Often possible, particularly with modular materials like block paving or slabs. Matching older stone proves trickier but sourcing from local reclamation yards usually yields good results. Extension work requires careful edge restraint installation to prevent spreading.
