A well-built path makes daily routines easier, from school runs to taking the bins out, while adding structure to your planting. We design and install paths that suit Raynes Park gardens, with layouts that work from gate to front door or patio to lawn. Whether you’re near Raynes Park station or walking distance to Cannon Hill Common, we’ll create a route that drains well and stays level. We cover SW20 and nearby streets across the Raynes Park area.
Homes here often have side access, modest front gardens and long rear plots—ideal for practical, attractive routes. We regularly work on 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, matching materials to brickwork, boundary walls and period details. If you want a softer look, gravel and stepping stones can blend with planting; for a sharper finish, block paving or natural stone gives clean lines. Our garden paths Raynes Park area designs also consider prams, bikes and muddy winter footfall.
We start with a site visit, measure-ups and clear options for materials, edging and levels. Ground preparation is done properly: excavation, compacted sub-base, and accurate falls for drainage before any surfacing goes down. You’ll get a tidy jobsite, straightforward scheduling, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners trust us because we communicate clearly and finish to a premium standard—no wobbly slabs or loose edges.
Across the London Borough of Merton, gardens can have mixed ground and compacted clay that needs the right sub-base and drainage falls. Raynes Park streets often have limited parking and narrow side passages, so we plan deliveries and barrow access to minimise disruption. We also match path widths and thresholds to typical 1930s entrances and rear patios. If council guidance affects drainage or lighting, we’ll flag it early and keep everything compliant.

Costs vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £60–£120 per m², while block paving or brick can be £120–£200 per m². Natural stone is typically £160–£280 per m² depending on the slab type and cutting. Resin bound paths usually fall around £140–£220 per m². Steps, curves, edging and lighting will affect the final figure.
Most garden path projects take 1–3 days for a straightforward run, and 3–7 days for larger layouts with curves, steps or multiple areas. Timescales depend on excavation depth, waste removal, access through side passages, and whether we’re adding drainage or lighting. Resin bound and mortar-laid stone also need suitable weather and curing time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. The main considerations are drainage and whether any changes affect protected features, listed buildings, or conservation areas. If the path is near the front of the property, we’ll also consider surface water run-off and recommend permeable options such as resin bound or gravel where appropriate. We can check any relevant Merton guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden path installations. This covers issues such as sinking due to inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and failures caused by installation defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement from external factors like tree roots or underground leaks. We’ll also advise on aftercare—especially for gravel stabilisation, jointing sand, and keeping drainage channels clear.
We install natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick paths, with options for straight runs or curved paths to soften the garden layout. Popular choices in SW20 include sandstone or limestone for a premium look, resin bound for a smooth, permeable finish, and brick to complement period homes. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and patterns, plus add low-glare lighting for safer steps and evening use.
