A well-laid path changes how your garden works, from the gate to the patio and back again. We design and install paths that look sharp and stay stable through wet winters and heavy footfall. Whether you’re near Eastfields station or walking distance to Figges Marsh, we’ll create a route that feels natural and keeps shoes off the lawn. Options include natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, brick and resin bound surfaces.
The Eastfields area has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different levels, widths and access points. We regularly work across SW16 and CR4, including Mitcham and Streatham Vale, so we’re used to narrow side returns, shared pathways and compact front gardens. Our designs respect existing brickwork, boundary lines and planting, while improving drainage and day-to-day practicality. If you want a curved path to soften a straight plot, we’ll set it out precisely before any digging starts.
We begin with a site visit to measure, discuss materials, and check falls for drainage. Then we excavate to the correct depth, install a proper sub-base, edge restraints and a durable finish that won’t rut or spread. We keep the site tidy, communicate clearly, and schedule deliveries to minimise disruption. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on installations.
In the London Borough of Merton we often find mixed ground and variable drainage, especially where gardens have been re-levelled during renovations. Access can be tight around terraces and some modern blocks, so we plan spoil removal, deliveries and parking carefully. We also set falls to direct water away from walls and entrances, and we can recommend permeable finishes where runoff is a concern. Our team is based just five minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, edging, and the surface you choose. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £60–£110 per m², block paving around £90–£160 per m², and natural stone typically £120–£220+ per m². Resin bound is usually £110–£190 per m². Steps, curves, lighting and difficult access can increase labour and waste removal costs.
Most garden paths take 1–3 days, while larger or more detailed projects can take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on excavation, how much sub-base is needed, drainage adjustments, and whether you’re adding steps, curved sections or lighting. Resin bound may require specific weather conditions and curing time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit and keep you updated if weather affects progress.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. Rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, drainage matters: permeable surfaces or suitable runoff control may be required. We’ll flag any likely issues, advise on compliant materials, and can help you check council guidance before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our garden path installations, covering workmanship and the structural build-up (such as the sub-base, edging restraints and correct laying). It helps protect you against issues like avoidable sinking, spreading or loose units caused by installation faults. Normal wear, accidental damage, or problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We also give clear care guidance to keep your surface looking its best.
We build natural stone paths for a premium look, block paving for crisp lines, and brick for period-style homes. Gravel and stepping stones suit informal gardens, while resin bound gives a smooth, permeable finish with a modern feel. Curved paths are popular for softening straight plots, and we can integrate low-glare lighting for safer access. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and patterns that suit your home and planting style.
