A well-built garden path makes everyday life easier, from bins to bikes to muddy school runs. We design and install paths across SE13, including streets near Hither Green station and Mountsfield Park. Whether you want a crisp straight run to the front door or a softer curved route through planting, we build it to match your garden’s layout. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and a finish that complements your home.
Hither Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with narrow side access and established gardens. We plan materials and widths that work for prams, wheelie bins and frequent footfall, without overwhelming smaller plots. For period properties, brick and natural stone can echo original detailing, while resin bound or block paving suits a more contemporary look. If you’re in Lee, Grove Park or closer to Lewisham, we’ll tailor the design to your setting.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree the route, curves and edging. We excavate properly, install a compacted sub-base, and lay your chosen surface to the correct falls so water sheds away from the house. You’ll get clear written recommendations, a tidy worksite and reliable scheduling—Fine Landscaping is only around 25 minutes away. Homeowners choose us for robust construction, neat finishing and straightforward aftercare advice.
In the garden paths Hither Green area, we often find mixed ground and pockets of clay, so we prioritise depth, compaction and drainage. Many SE13 homes have limited parking and narrow side returns, so we plan deliveries and barrow access to minimise disruption. We also consider mature tree roots near parks and older boundaries, adjusting excavation and edging details accordingly. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and build to best practice.

Costs depend on size, access and the surface you choose. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving and brick are commonly £120–£200 per m², and natural stone is typically £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound usually sits around £140–£220 per m². Curves, steps, edging, excavation depth and lighting will affect the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 working days from excavation to finish, depending on length, curves and the chosen material. A small stepping-stone or gravel route can be completed quickly, while natural stone, brickwork patterns or resin bound surfaces may take longer due to preparation and curing times. Access in SE13 gardens, waste removal, and any drainage or level changes can also extend the schedule.
Garden paths are usually permitted development, so planning permission isn’t normally required. The main considerations are drainage and whether the works affect protected trees, boundary walls or listed features. If your property is in a conservation area or you’re altering levels significantly, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll advise on permeable options such as gravel or resin bound and confirm any Lewisham-specific requirements before work starts.
