A well-built path makes every garden easier to use, from bins and bikes to prams and muddy boots. We create routes that feel natural in Kennington gardens, whether you’re near Kennington Park or walking distance from The Oval cricket ground. From straight access runs to sweeping curved paths, we focus on clean lines, safe footing and long-term durability. Every layout is planned around how you actually move through the space.
Kennington’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often means compact front gardens, side returns and shared access. We regularly work on projects across SE11, where levels, steps and narrow gateways can shape the design. Our team recommends materials that complement brick façades and iron railings while staying practical for everyday wear. If you’re comparing garden paths kennington area options, we’ll show samples and explain maintenance clearly.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage and the best route, then provide a detailed written quote. Sub-bases are installed properly, edges are set true, and finishes are laid to manufacturer guidance for longevity. We keep work areas tidy and aim to minimise disruption, especially where access is shared. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, we often encounter clay-heavy soils and older garden walls that need careful protection during excavation. Kennington streets can have controlled parking and restricted access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to suit. Many SE11 properties have steps and level changes, so we design gradients and landings for comfortable walking and good drainage. We also factor in shared pathways and neighbour boundaries common to terraces and mansion blocks.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork, but most Kennington projects fall within sensible ranges. Gravel paths typically start around £70–£120 per m², while block paving and brick are often £120–£180 per m². Natural stone can be £160–£260+ per m² depending on the stone and cutting. Resin bound is commonly £140–£220 per m². Edging, steps, lighting and drainage can add to the total.
A straightforward path in a front or back garden usually takes 2–5 days from excavation to finish. Larger layouts with curved paths, steps, or multiple materials can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in SE11 terraces), how much spoil needs removing, and whether we’re improving drainage or rebuilding edges. Weather can also affect resin bound and pointing work, so we schedule around suitable conditions.
Most garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially within your rear garden. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary walls, or installing significant lighting near neighbours. Drainage matters too: permeable surfaces such as gravel or resin bound can help manage runoff. We’ll check the basics for your Kennington property and advise if you should contact Lambeth or a planning professional.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our garden path installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor edge restraint, or incorrect laying. Materials are installed to manufacturer specifications, and any product warranties (for example on resin systems or lighting components) are passed on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage or neglect, but we’ll always advise on simple maintenance to keep the finish looking its best.
We design paths in natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick, with options for curved routes and discreet lighting. For Kennington homes, brick and stone often suit period façades, while resin bound offers a clean, contemporary look with permeability. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and patterns, then set out the route to suit gates, steps and planting. Samples and a clear plan make decisions straightforward.
