Pimlico gardens often balance formal planting with practical access, so a well-planned path matters. From St George's Square to the riverside streets near Tate Britain, we install paths that suit the area’s calm, refined character. Choose crisp block paving for a clean architectural line, or natural stone to complement mature borders. Every layout is set out to improve flow from gate to terrace without losing planting space.
Our team regularly works across SW1, including Westminster and Victoria, where properties range from Regency townhouses to mansion blocks and period conversions. These homes benefit from paths that respect original materials and proportions, whether that’s a narrow side return or a shared rear access. We design curved paths to soften long garden runs and use stepping stones where you want more planting between. Finishes are selected to sit comfortably alongside brick façades, railings and traditional garden walls.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you use the garden day to day. You’ll receive clear options on materials, edging and lighting, then we prepare a proper sub-base and tidy, durable joints. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful protection of entrances and communal areas. Homeowners trust us for clean workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the Pimlico area we often encounter tight access, basement lightwells and shared walkways in mansion blocks. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking with City of Westminster requirements in mind, keeping neighbours informed. Ground conditions and levels can vary between front courtyards and rear gardens, so we prioritise drainage falls and robust sub-bases. Materials are chosen to complement period brickwork and the formal geometry of local garden squares.

Costs depend on size, access and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving and brick around £120–£200 per m², and natural stone typically £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound usually sits at £140–£240 per m². Steps, edging, lighting, excavation depth and waste removal can affect the final figure.
Most garden path projects take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, complexity and curing times. A simple gravel run can be completed quickly, while natural stone, curved paths, steps or integrated lighting usually take longer. Access in SW1 can also influence programme due to delivery windows and waste collection. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
Garden paths are usually permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a listed building, or changing drainage to the public highway. In City of Westminster, front garden surfacing may need to be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property. We advise on compliant options such as resin bound or gravel and can help you check any constraints before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, laying and installation defects that cause movement or failure under normal use. The warranty does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations or severe ground movement outside our control. Manufacturer guarantees may also apply to specific products such as resin systems or lighting components. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before installation.
We design paths in natural stone, block paving, brick, gravel, stepping stones and resin bound finishes. Popular choices in Pimlico include pale sandstone for a light, classic look, clay brick to echo period walls, and resin bound for a smooth, permeable surface. We can create straight or gently curved routes, add crisp edging, and install low-glare lighting for steps and borders. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your garden and budget.
