From Marylebone High Street to the quiet streets near Regent’s Park, outdoor space is often compact and carefully styled. We design and build paths that guide you through planting, courtyards and terraces without stealing space. Choose crisp sawn stone, characterful brick, or clean resin bound finishes for a refined look. Every layout is set out to complement sightlines from the house and key seating areas.
The Marylebone area is known for Georgian townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different thresholds, steps and levels. We regularly work with narrow side returns, basement lightwells and shared access routes where precision matters. Our detailing is chosen to match traditional façades while keeping surfaces practical for daily use. If your garden is shaded by taller buildings, we’ll specify materials and joints that cope well with damp conditions.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss drainage, and agree a clear design and specification. Groundworks are carried out properly—excavation, sub-base, edging and falls—so the path stays stable and drains as it should. You’ll get tidy working practices, clear timelines, and a written 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners trust us for accurate finishes, careful protection of existing planting, and straightforward communication.
W1 properties often have restricted access, controlled parking and timed deliveries, so we plan logistics carefully. In the City of Westminster, we also consider drainage rules and surface water run-off, especially for resin bound or paved paths. Many gardens sit between tall elevations, creating shade and slower drying; we use suitable bedding, jointing and falls to reduce algae and standing water. We’re used to working around communal areas and managing noise and cleanliness respectfully.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork depth. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £90–£140 per m², while block paving and brick are typically £140–£220 per m². Natural stone is commonly £180–£320 per m² depending on the stone and cutting. Resin bound usually falls around £160–£260 per m². Steps, lighting, complex curves and waste removal can increase the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 working days, depending on length, width and the amount of excavation required. A simple gravel or stepping-stone route can be quicker, while natural stone, brick detailing, curved layouts and integrated lighting take longer. Timescales also depend on access in W1, skip permits, and whether we’re improving drainage or building steps. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey and set-out.
Garden paths are usually permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, or working within a listed building or conservation area. In the City of Westminster, managing surface water is important—permeable options like gravel or resin bound can help. We’ll flag any potential permission issues, advise on compliant drainage, and help you understand whether you need consent before work starts.
We provide a written 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation, including the sub-base, bedding and laying. If issues arise from installation—such as movement, rocking units or failed joints—we’ll put them right. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme weather events, or wear from misuse, and some materials have separate manufacturer guarantees. We also give care guidance to keep surfaces looking their best year-round.
We offer natural stone (sawn or riven), block paving, brick, gravel, stepping stones and resin bound surfaces, with straight or curved paths to suit your layout. For period properties, brick edging and stone flags often look timeless; for contemporary courtyards, resin bound with clean lines is popular. We can add discreet path lighting for safer access. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, then design a route that fits your planting and door thresholds.
