A well-built path makes the whole garden easier to use, from the gate to the front door or down to the patio. We create tailored routes for SE12 homes, whether you want a straight run or elegant curved paths that soften the layout. From the Lee Green crossroads to Manor House Gardens, we’ve installed paths that look smart in all seasons. Expect tidy lines, safe footing and a finish that complements your planting.
Lee Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with narrow side returns, stepped entrances and compact front gardens. We design widths, gradients and thresholds to suit prams, bins and daily foot traffic, without wasting space. For period properties near Blackheath or Hither Green, we can match traditional brick tones and edging details. For more contemporary updates, resin bound or clean-cut stone can modernise the approach instantly.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you want the path to feel underfoot. Every build includes proper excavation, a stable sub-base and careful compaction to reduce movement and puddling. You’ll receive clear options, a written scope and a schedule we stick to, with respectful, clean working practices. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and long-lasting results.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find mixed ground and compacted soils that need the right sub-base depth and drainage falls. Access can be tight around terraced homes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Parking near Lee station and Leegate Shopping Centre can be busy, so we schedule efficiently and keep materials organised on site. Our designs suit both traditional front gardens and longer rear routes typical of SE12 plots.

Costs vary by material, ground conditions and the amount of excavation needed. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving and brick are typically £110–£180 per m², and natural stone is commonly £140–£250+ per m². Resin bound is usually £120–£200 per m². Steps, edging, lighting and drainage details will affect the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, access and the chosen surface. A simple gravel or stepping-stone route can be quicker, while natural stone, curved paths, or detailed brickwork may take longer. Resin bound requires careful preparation and suitable weather for laying. If we’re adding steps, lighting or drainage channels, allow extra time for groundwork and cabling.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. The main considerations are drainage and surface water: permeable options such as gravel or resin bound can help, and we can create falls to direct water into your garden rather than the pavement. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise before work starts.
