A well-planned path makes day-to-day life easier, especially on Honor Oak’s hills and steps. We design and build routes that feel natural from gate to front door, patio or shed, with safe gradients and crisp edges. Whether you’re near One Tree Hill or walking distance to Honor Oak Park station, we’ll match the path to your garden’s layout. Expect clean lines, tidy transitions and a finish that complements your planting.
The Honor Oak area has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different front garden proportions and access. We often work with narrow side returns, shared paths and raised thresholds that need careful levels. Our designs consider bins, bikes and prams, so the route works in real life, not just on paper. Materials are chosen to suit the property style and the amount of foot traffic.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear written proposal, including drainage and edging details. Sub-bases are built properly, with compaction and falls set to prevent puddling and movement. We keep the site organised, protect planting where possible and leave paths ready to use straight away. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on installation.
SE23 gardens can be steep, with clay-heavy ground that needs a stable sub-base and reliable drainage. Parking and access can be tight near Brockley and Forest Hill borders, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in mature trees and root zones common around Camberwell Old Cemetery edges. Our approach adapts to Lewisham property layouts, from narrow front gardens to long rear paths.

Costs vary by material, width, groundworks and access. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², while block paving or brick typically sits at £120–£200 per m². Natural stone is commonly £160–£280 per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Resin bound is usually £140–£220 per m². Steps, lighting and drainage can add to the total.
Most garden paths take 1–3 days for straightforward runs, including excavation, sub-base and laying. Larger projects with curves, steps, multiple landings or integrated lighting can take 4–7 days. Timescales depend on access for materials, how much spoil needs removing, and whether we’re working around existing patios or planting. Resin bound also needs suitable weather and curing time before heavy use.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect boundary walls, levels or drainage onto the highway. Permeable surfaces are often advisable to manage runoff. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you check Lewisham requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking, rocking units and joint breakdown caused by poor construction. It’s valid when the path is used as intended and maintained sensibly (for example, keeping joints topped up where required). Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s guarantees where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before you proceed.
We install natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick paths, including curved paths and matching edgings. Popular choices in the garden paths in London Borough of Lewisham include sandstone for period homes and resin bound for a clean, low-maintenance finish. We can add discreet lighting for steps and entrances. We’ll recommend options based on slope, drainage, budget and how you use the space.
