A well-built path changes how your garden works day to day, from the front gate to the patio. We design and install routes that look right outside Victorian terraces and mansion conversions across SW2. Whether you’re near Streatham Hill station or walking distance to Telford Park, we’ll create a path that feels intentional and easy to use in all weather.
Streatham Hill homes often have narrow side returns, stepped front gardens and shared access, so detailing matters. We regularly build paths for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions where levels, drainage and boundaries need careful planning. If you want a softer look, gravel and stepping stones can suit planted front gardens; for a sharper finish, block paving, brick or resin bound works well with period façades.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree the route, curves and edging. Then we excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and lay your chosen surface with clean falls away from the house. You’ll get a clear written scope, tidy working practices, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty—one reason homeowners choose us for garden paths streatham hill area projects.
Many gardens around Christchurch Road and nearby streets have clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots, so we choose sub-base depths and edging to resist movement. Access can be tight, with steps and narrow passages, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider local drainage expectations and permeability where needed, especially for resin bound and gravel finishes. Our team works across Streatham, Tulse Hill and West Norwood, so we’re used to the area’s property layouts.

Costs vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², while block paving and brick are commonly £110–£180 per m². Natural stone is typically £140–£250+ per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Resin bound is usually £120–£200 per m². Steps, curves, edging and lighting are priced in addition.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finishing, depending on length, levels and the chosen surface. Simple gravel or stepping-stone routes can be quicker, while natural stone, brick detailing, curved paths and integrated lighting take longer. Time can also increase if we need to remove old concrete, build steps, improve drainage, or work through restricted access typical of Streatham Hill terraces.
Garden paths are usually permitted development, so planning permission is not normally required. The main considerations are drainage and whether the surface is permeable, particularly in front gardens where runoff could reach the highway. If your property is a listed building or within a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We’ll advise on suitable permeable options (like gravel or resin bound) and check constraints before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our garden path installations. This covers issues caused by installation, such as sub-base failure, sinking, loose edging or poor falls leading to persistent standing water (where site conditions allow proper drainage). Materials are supplied with relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. To keep your path looking its best, we’ll also explain aftercare for sealing, jointing sand and cleaning.
We build garden paths in natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick, with options for straight or curved layouts. Popular choices locally include sandstone or limestone for period homes, brick to echo boundary walls, and resin bound for a clean, low-maintenance finish. We’ll help you choose colours, edging and patterns that suit your frontage, plus practical extras like anti-slip finishes and discreet path lighting.
