That worn patch of lawn between your back door and garden shed deserves better. Catford's mix of period properties and newer builds each need pathways that complement their character whilst standing up to London's unpredictable weather.

Victorian terraces along Brownhill Road often feature long, narrow gardens crying out for thoughtful pathway design. Meanwhile, the post-war estates near Catford Bridge present different challenges - wider plots but tricky slopes. Whatever your SE6 property throws at us, a well-planned garden path transforms both accessibility and aesthetics.
Material selection shapes everything. Reclaimed York stone suits period properties beautifully, whilst resin-bound gravel handles Catford's clay soil drainage issues brilliantly. Permeable options prevent puddling - essential given how our local terrain channels rainwater. Edge restraints, proper sub-base preparation, and gradient calculations ensure longevity beyond simple DIY attempts.
Twenty years navigating Catford's quirky garden layouts gives us insight others miss. From negotiating established root systems near Mountsfield Park to working around original Anderson shelter foundations, local knowledge matters.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Basic gravel paths start around £45-60 per square metre, whilst natural stone installations range £85-120. Most Catford gardens need 15-25 square metres of pathway, though those period properties with 100ft+ gardens often require more.
Absolutely - from the Conservation Area around Culverley Road through to newer developments near Doggett Road. Regular projects across SE6, plus neighbouring areas like Hither Green and Forest Hill.
Usually 2-3 weeks from agreement to completion. Spring bookings fill rapidly as Catford gardeners emerge from winter hibernation, so autumn planning often works better.
Full decade coverage on all structural work - that's sub-base integrity, edge restraints, and surface stability. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties too, typically 10-25 years depending on your choice.
Definitely - many properties backing onto the Ravensbourne River valley need level changes incorporated. We calculate safe riser heights and integrate lighting where needed for those dark winter evenings.
