A well-planned path makes a Southfields garden easier to live with, from the gate to the patio and on to the shed or side return. We design and install routes that work with your planting, levels and drainage, not against them. Whether you’re near Southfields tube station or closer to Wimbledon Park, we’ll create a path that looks intentional and stays tidy in wet weather. Curved paths, stepping stones and subtle lighting are all available to guide the way after dark.
Southfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with narrow side access and compact front gardens. We’re used to making paths that complement period brickwork, bay windows and traditional boundaries without looking over-designed. For rear gardens, we can connect patios to lawns and borders with minimal disruption. If you’re updating a garden before the Wimbledon season, we can help you prioritise impact and practicality.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you use the space, and recommend materials that suit your budget and maintenance preferences. Every path is built on proper sub-base preparation with solid edging and careful falls to manage surface water. You’ll receive a clear written specification, tidy workmanship, and straightforward communication from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, clean finishes, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We regularly install garden paths in London Borough of Wandsworth, where clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots can affect levels and drainage. In SW18 streets, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also consider surface-water requirements and permeable options such as resin bound or gravel where appropriate. Designs are tailored to the proportions typical of Southfields terraces and semis.

Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finishing, depending on length, access and the chosen surface. A simple gravel or stepping-stone route can be quicker, while natural stone, brick detailing, curved paths and lighting usually take longer. Poor ground, root removal, drainage work or significant level changes can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. The main considerations are drainage and surface-water run-off, especially for front gardens and areas near the public highway. Using permeable finishes such as gravel or resin bound can help meet requirements. If your property is listed or subject to restrictions, rules may differ. We’ll advise and check what applies before work starts.
