Bermondsey gardens often need smart circulation as well as style, especially around London Bridge and towards Tower Bridge. We design and install paths that guide you cleanly from door to patio, bin store or bike area without muddy shortcuts. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or a quieter square, we’ll match the path to the setting. Expect crisp edges, reliable drainage and a finish that complements planting.
In SE1 and SE16 you’ll find converted warehouses with courtyards, Victorian terraces with narrow side returns, and modern apartments with compact terraces. Each property type benefits from a different approach: larger-format stone can suit warehouse gardens, while brick or block paving can echo period detailing. For smaller plots, stepping stones or gravel with tidy edging keeps things light and practical. We plan widths, turning points and thresholds so the path works day-to-day.
We start with a site visit, levels check and material samples, then provide a clear written specification. Groundworks are done properly: excavation, sub-base, compaction and falls to manage surface water. We keep access clear, protect surrounding finishes and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent options and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Working across the garden paths Bermondsey area means planning around tight access, controlled parking and shared entrances common in Southwark. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels and drainage before setting out. We also consider how deliveries can be scheduled around busy spots like Maltby Street Market. The result is a path build that’s practical for your street and kind to neighbours.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork, but typical Bermondsey projects range from around £90–£160 per m² for gravel with edging, £120–£220 per m² for block paving or brick, and £140–£260 per m² for resin bound. Natural stone is often £160–£320 per m² depending on the stone and laying pattern. Curves, steps, lighting and drainage can increase the total.
Most paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, depending on length, complexity and curing times. A small stepping-stone or gravel route may be completed in 1–2 days, while resin bound or detailed stonework can take 3–7 days. Timescales are affected by access (common in SE1/SE16), waste removal, weather, and whether we’re adding lighting, steps or new drainage runs.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. The main considerations are drainage and surface water management, especially if you’re creating large impermeable areas. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or the works affect shared access, extra checks may apply. We’ll advise on suitable permeable options (like resin bound or gravel) and confirm any Southwark requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our garden path installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as loose units, sinking from inadequate sub-base preparation, or edging failure (subject to normal use). Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product, and we’ll pass these on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by later alterations or ground movement beyond our control.
We install natural stone, block paving, brick paths, gravel, stepping stones and resin bound surfaces, with options for curved paths and integrated lighting. For Bermondsey courtyards, resin bound or large-format stone can feel contemporary and clean; Victorian terraces often suit brick or traditional blocks. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, drainage, maintenance and how the colours work with your planting and exterior finishes, then provide samples to confirm the look.
