Paddington’s mix of canal-side walks and fast-paced streets makes a well-laid path a real asset at home. Whether you’re near Paddington station or enjoying weekends by Little Venice, we create routes that feel natural and look refined. Choose from natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, brick or resin bound surfaces. We can also add subtle lighting for safer evenings and a smarter look.
We regularly work across the garden paths Paddington area, including Bayswater and Maida Vale, where outdoor spaces range from compact courtyards to larger communal gardens. Stucco townhouses often suit traditional brick edging or Yorkstone-style paving, while mansion flats benefit from neat, low-maintenance resin bound or gravel paths. Modern apartments around Paddington Basin tend to favour crisp lines and contemporary materials. Every design is scaled to the space, access and how you actually use the garden.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear recommendation on base build-up and drainage. We prepare the ground properly, install robust sub-bases, then lay your chosen finish with accurate falls and tidy edges. You’ll get a written scope, transparent options and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for reliability, careful workmanship and aftercare advice that keeps paths looking their best.
Working on garden paths in City of Westminster often means tight access, resident parking controls and strict waste removal rules. In W2, we plan deliveries around peak times and keep sites tidy for shared entrances and communal areas. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels and drainage carefully before laying any surface. Our approach suits everything from stucco-fronted homes to modern blocks near Hyde Park.

Costs depend on the surface, ground preparation and access. As a guide, gravel paths often start from around £70–£120 per m², block paving typically £110–£180 per m², and natural stone commonly £140–£250+ per m². Resin bound is usually £120–£200 per m², depending on base requirements. Steps, curved layouts, lighting and edging will affect the final figure.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to completion, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Smaller courtyard paths can be finished in 1–2 days, while larger or more detailed schemes with curves, steps, or lighting may take a week or more. Timescales are influenced by spoil removal, setting times for mortar or resin systems, and whether we need to correct levels or improve drainage.
A garden path in a rear garden is usually permitted development, but there are exceptions. If you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or your property is listed or within a conservation area, extra rules may apply. For front gardens, permeable surfacing and drainage are important to meet SuDS requirements. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you check City of Westminster guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden path installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as movement from an inadequate sub-base or poor edging restraint. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and where applicable we pass on product warranties (for example, resin systems). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or tree root movement.
We design and install natural stone paving, block paving, gravel paths with stabilisation grids, stepping stone routes, brick paths, and resin bound surfaces. Curved paths are popular for softer, more natural movement through planting, while straight runs suit modern layouts. We can include discreet path lighting and edging in stone or brick for a crisp finish. We’ll recommend options based on maintenance preferences, drainage, and the style of your home.
