A well-laid path makes a garden easier to use, safer in wet weather, and far more inviting. We design and install paths across SW16, from neat front-garden routes to wider walkways for family gardens. If you’re near Pollards Hill Library or walking distance to Pollards Hill Recreation Ground, we can survey quickly and recommend the best layout for your space. Expect clean lines, solid foundations, and a finish that complements your planting and fencing.
Homes around Pollards Hill include many 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, often with practical front gardens and side access. We create paths that suit these proportions—straight runs to the front door, or curved routes that soften a rectangular plot. For the garden paths Pollards Hill area homeowners ask for, we balance looks with durability and slip resistance. Where space is tight, we plan widths carefully for bins, bikes and pushchairs.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written quotation with material options. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and finish with precise edging to prevent spread or movement over time. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices, and a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind. Many clients choose us because we’re based just 5 minutes away and can respond quickly if you need adjustments.
We’re used to the mix of soils and drainage quirks found across the London Borough of Merton, including compacted ground in older gardens. Access can be restricted on residential streets around South Lodge Avenue, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also factor in levels between thresholds, lawns and patios to avoid trip points. The result is garden paths in London Borough of Merton that look right and stay stable.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, edging and the chosen finish. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving typically £120–£180 per m², and natural stone commonly £150–£250+ per m². Resin bound is usually £140–£220 per m². Steps, drainage channels, lighting and complex curves can add to the overall budget.
Most garden paths take 1–3 days from excavation to finished surface, depending on length, access and the material. Resin bound and block paving usually need careful base preparation, while stepping-stone routes can be quicker. Larger projects with multiple levels, new steps, or integrated lighting may take 4–7 days. Wet weather, difficult ground and restricted parking can also extend timescales slightly.
In many cases, a garden path is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting a boundary wall, or working near a listed building. For front gardens, choosing permeable surfaces (or directing water to a permeable area) is important to meet drainage requirements. We’ll advise on compliant materials and check any Merton-specific considerations before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our garden path installations. This covers issues caused by installation faults, such as movement from inadequate sub-base preparation or poor edging restraint. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We’ll also explain manufacturer guarantees where relevant, for example on resin systems or lighting components, and provide care guidance to protect your finish.
