A well-built path changes how you use your garden, from front gate to patio and around planting beds. In Wimbledon Village, we design routes that feel calm and considered, whether you want a crisp entrance line or a softer curve through borders. Many clients ask for finishes that complement nearby greenery and the open feel of Wimbledon Common. We work across SW19, including Wimbledon and Southfields, with designs that suit both formal and relaxed gardens.
The Wimbledon Village area includes large detached houses, Georgian properties and luxury apartments, each with different access and layout challenges. Period homes often suit natural stone or brick edging, while contemporary builds pair beautifully with resin bound and clean detailing. We also create practical side-return paths for bins and bikes, and stepped routes for sloping plots. Your path is set out to match sightlines from key rooms and the approach to the front door.
We start with a site visit, levels survey and clear material samples, then provide a written specification and itemised quote. Groundworks are done properly: excavation, compacted sub-base, edging restraint and drainage planning before any surface goes down. Our team keeps the site tidy and walkways safe, with optional low-glare lighting installed at the right stage. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Gardens around Wimbledon Village High Street and near Cannizaro Park can have mature roots, mixed soils and tight access for deliveries. We plan spoil removal, parking and drop-off times to reduce disruption, and we build in drainage where clay pockets hold water. For properties close to shared boundaries, we keep edges neat and levels controlled to avoid run-off. Our approach suits the expectations of the London Borough of Merton and the high standards typical of SW19 homes.

Costs depend on size, access and the surface you choose. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £90–£140 per m², block paving and brick are commonly £140–£220 per m², and resin bound is typically £170–£260 per m². Natural stone is usually £180–£320+ per m² depending on the stone and cutting. Steps, curves, edging and lighting will increase the overall budget.
Most garden path projects take 2–5 days from excavation to completion, depending on length, curves and the amount of groundwork needed. Larger schemes with multiple routes, steps or complex drainage can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for materials, whether spoil can be removed easily, and curing times for bedding and jointing. We’ll confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Garden paths are usually permitted development, so planning permission is rarely required. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary wall, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, drainage is important and permeable surfaces may be recommended to manage run-off. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on compliant materials such as resin bound or gravel, and help you check requirements for your address.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base, edge movement, and failures linked to our construction method. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or lighting components). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also give clear aftercare guidance to keep joints, gravel and surfaces looking their best.
We design paths in natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick, with options for straight or curved layouts. Popular choices in SW19 include sandstone or limestone with brick edging, resin bound for a clean contemporary look, and stepping stones through planting for a softer feel. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend colours that suit your façade, gates and garden planting. Lighting can be integrated for subtle guidance after dark.
