A well-built path makes the whole garden easier to use, from the front gate to the patio. We design and install paths across Kingston upon Thames, including Surbiton and KT1, with layouts that guide you naturally through the space. Whether you want a clean, contemporary line near Kingston Bridge or a softer, curved route to a rear terrace, we’ll match the style to your home. Expect tidy levels, firm footing and a finish that complements planting and boundaries.
Local homes range from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to modern waterfront apartments, so one path style doesn’t suit every plot. We regularly work with narrow side returns, shared access ways and long gardens where drainage and levels matter. For period properties, brick or natural stone can echo original detailing; for newer builds, resin bound or sleek block paving gives a crisp look. If you’re near the Bentall Centre, we’ll also consider footfall and practical entry routes for busy households.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear options for materials, edging and lighting. Every build includes proper excavation, a compacted sub-base and careful falls to manage surface water. Our team keeps disruption low, protects lawns and planting, and leaves the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent specifications and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames often have mixed ground and mature tree roots, so we tailor dig depths and edging to keep paths stable. In KT2 streets, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also design falls and drainage to suit sloping plots and riverside conditions. If conservation considerations apply, we’ll recommend sympathetic materials and detailing.

Costs depend on size, groundworks and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving typically £110–£180 per m², and resin bound usually £120–£200 per m². Natural stone and brick can range from £140–£250+ per m² depending on the stone type and pattern. Steps, edging, lighting and drainage can add to the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, assuming straightforward access and good weather. Larger schemes with curves, steps, lighting or multiple materials may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by how much digging is needed, whether old concrete must be broken out, and how quickly the sub-base can be compacted and set. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, or adding extensive impermeable surfacing that affects drainage. We recommend permeable options such as resin bound or gravel where appropriate and can advise on falls and soakaway solutions. If permissions or approvals are needed, we’ll flag this early and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden path installations. This covers issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and failures in laying that lead to rocking or uneven surfaces. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, certain resin systems or lighting components). The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage and maintenance guidance is followed.
We install natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick paths, with straight or curved layouts to suit your garden. Popular choices include sandstone or limestone for a timeless look, resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, and brick to complement period homes. We can add discreet edging, contrasting borders and low-voltage lighting for safer evening use. We’ll bring samples and propose designs that fit your budget and maintenance preferences.
