From Portobello Road Market to Notting Hill Gate, outdoor spaces in W11 often need practical routes that still look refined. We create garden paths that guide you from gate to front steps, or through a courtyard to a studio or patio. Whether you prefer natural stone, block paving or a crisp gravel finish, we match the path to your planting and architecture. Curved layouts and subtle lighting can transform evening access and improve security.
Notting Hill properties range from pastel-painted Victorian townhouses and mansion conversions to compact mews houses around Ladbroke Grove and Holland Park. These homes often have narrow side returns, small front gardens and shared boundaries where every centimetre matters. We design paths that respect period detailing while improving day-to-day use, including tidy edging and clean thresholds. For sloping plots or shaded courtyards, we specify surfaces that stay stable and slip-resistant.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear recommendation on base build-up, drainage and finishes. We protect existing paving and planting, keep the site organised, and schedule deliveries to reduce disruption on tight streets. You’ll receive a written specification, transparent options, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for consistent standards and a finish that looks right from day one.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means planning for restricted access, controlled parking and timed deliveries. Many W11 gardens sit behind steps, railings or narrow passages, so we use compact equipment and phased removal to keep disruption down. We also account for mature tree roots near streets and communal boundaries, adjusting excavation depths and edging details. Where drainage is sensitive, we recommend permeable finishes such as resin bound or gravel.

Costs vary by material, access and ground preparation. As a guide in Notting Hill, gravel paths often start around £90–£140 per m², block paving typically £120–£200 per m², and natural stone commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound is usually £140–£220 per m². Steps, curved detailing, edging, lighting and excavation for poor ground will increase the overall budget.
Most garden paths take 2–5 working days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, curves and the chosen surface. Resin bound can be quicker once the base is ready, while natural stone and brickwork take longer due to cutting and detailing. Timescales also depend on access in W11, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re adding lighting, steps or drainage improvements.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development, especially within the rear garden. Rules can change if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels, boundary walls or drainage. Permeable surfaces are often preferred to manage runoff. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and, where needed, help you check RBKC guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our garden path installations, covering issues such as movement caused by incorrect base preparation, joint failure, and edging instability. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems and lighting components). The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain aftercare for your chosen surface to keep it looking its best.
