From Brockley Market to the paths leading up towards Hilly Fields, good routes make outdoor spaces easier to enjoy. We design and build garden paths that suit SE4 plots, whether you want a crisp front approach or a relaxed route through planting. Expect clean lines, safe footing and finishes that complement your home. Every path is set out to improve access, drainage and kerb appeal.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have narrow side returns, stepped thresholds and small front gardens. We plan widths, levels and edging so the path feels generous without stealing planting space. For sloping gardens near Honor Oak or Crofton Park, we introduce gentle gradients, landings and non-slip surfaces. The result is a path that looks original to the property, not an afterthought.
We start with a site visit, discuss how you use the garden, then provide a clear written specification and itemised quote. Our team handles excavation, sub-base, drainage and precise laying, with careful protection of existing borders and paving. You’ll get tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and straightforward communication from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for garden paths brockley area projects because the detailing lasts and the finish stays sharp.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, many gardens have mixed ground and pockets of clay that hold water after heavy rain. We design falls and drainage to reduce puddling and algae, especially in shaded side passages. Access can be tight around terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and neighbour-friendly working hours. We also consider parking and local restrictions when scheduling skips and materials.

Costs vary by material, width, ground conditions and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £80–£140 per m², while block paving and brick are typically £120–£200 per m². Natural stone and resin bound finishes are usually £160–£280 per m². Steps, edging, drainage and lighting will add to the overall budget after a site survey.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, access and the chosen surface. A simple gravel path can be completed quickly, while natural stone, brick patterns or curved layouts take longer due to cutting and detailing. If we’re adding steps, drainage channels or lighting, allow extra time. Bad weather and drying/curing times can also affect the schedule.
Garden paths are usually permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially within your rear garden. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, permeable surfaces and proper drainage are important to comply with paving guidance. We check the specifics for your address and advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden path installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, loose edging, or movement due to incorrect laying. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain those at quotation stage. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up and clearing debris from drains.
We install natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick paths, with options for straight runs or curved paths that soften the garden layout. We can add contrasting edging, thresholds, and low-level lighting for safer access at night. During design, we help you choose colours and textures that suit your planting and brickwork, and we’ll recommend finishes for shade, slip resistance and drainage.
