A well-built path should feel effortless underfoot and look right from the kerb. We design and install paths across SE3, from Blackheath Village routes to gardens near Blackheath Common. Whether you want a crisp straight run or a softer curved path, we build it to handle daily foot traffic and British weather. Expect clean lines, careful levels and finishes that elevate your planting.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often need paths that respect original proportions and materials. We regularly work on narrow side returns, stepped entrances and long front approaches where drainage and edging make all the difference. For homes around The Paragon and nearby streets, we can match traditional brick tones or introduce natural stone for a timeless look. If you’re updating a rear garden, we’ll tie the path into patios, lawns and borders without awkward joins.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the space. Then we propose a layout, materials and edging details, followed by a clear, itemised quotation. Our team prepares a proper sub-base, compacts in layers and installs finishes to manufacturer guidance for longevity. Homeowners choose us for punctual workmanship, tidy sites, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
The Blackheath area includes clay-heavy ground in places, so we build up sub-bases and falls to manage surface water. Access can be tight on period streets, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also consider local character—brickwork, Georgian detailing and boundary walls—so new paths feel consistent with the property. If needed, we’ll advise on permeable options to support drainage expectations.

Costs vary by width, excavation depth, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving and brick typically £120–£200 per m², and natural stone commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£240 per m² depending on base preparation. Edging, steps and lighting are priced separately after a site survey.
Most garden paths take 1–3 days from excavation to completion, while larger or more detailed schemes can take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on length, ground conditions, drainage work, and whether you’re adding steps, curved sections or lighting. Resin bound installations may need additional curing time before heavy use. We’ll confirm a programme in advance and keep the site safe and tidy throughout.
Garden paths are usually permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the highway, or working within a listed property or conservation area. Permeable surfaces and correct falls are often important to avoid runoff issues. We’ll flag any potential constraints during the survey and can advise on compliant options. If permissions or approvals are needed, we’ll help you understand the steps before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden path installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging, and problems arising from installation defects. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable care, and it excludes damage from third-party works or extreme ground movement. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing with your quote.
We install natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and traditional brick paths, with options for straight or curved layouts. Popular choices in period gardens include brick with soldier-course edging, sandstone or limestone for a classic feel, and resin bound for a clean, low-maintenance finish. We can also integrate discreet lighting and drainage details. We’ll help you choose based on style, slip resistance, maintenance and budget.
