Woolwich gardens often need a path that copes with busy households, tight side access and changeable weather off the Thames. We design and install paths that connect patios, lawns and entrances cleanly, whether you’re near Royal Arsenal or closer to Woolwich Town Centre. From crisp straight runs to gentle curved paths, we make movement through the garden feel effortless. Optional lighting adds safety for evening arrivals and winter months.
Across SE18 you’ll find Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments with courtyards and shared access. Our path designs suit compact plots as well as longer rear gardens, keeping lines tidy and proportions balanced. We match materials to the property style—brick for period homes, natural stone for timeless character, and resin bound for sleek contemporary schemes. If you’re in Plumstead or Charlton, we’ll also plan for steps, level changes and drainage where needed.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and agree the best route, width and finish. Every installation includes a proper sub-base, solid edging and careful compaction to reduce movement and puddling. You’ll get clear written specifications, tidy working practices, and a finish we’re happy to put our name to. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean detailing, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Woolwich properties can have mixed ground conditions, from made-up ground near redevelopment sites to heavier clay pockets that hold water. We adjust excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage details to suit, especially for resin bound and block paving. Access and parking can be limited around Royal Arsenal and SE18 terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. We also keep finishes sympathetic to local streetscapes and any council requirements.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, width, excavation depth and access. As a guide, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paving and brick typically fall in the £120–£200 per m² range, and natural stone is commonly £160–£280 per m². Resin bound is usually £140–£240 per m². Curves, steps and lighting add to labour and groundwork, so we price after a site visit.
Most garden paths take 1–3 days, depending on length, material and how much excavation is needed. A simple gravel path with edging can be completed quickly, while block paving, brick or natural stone usually takes longer due to cutting, levels and jointing. Resin bound needs careful preparation and dry conditions for laying. Restricted access in SE18 terraces or work around existing planting can also extend the schedule slightly.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. The key considerations are drainage and whether you’re working near boundaries, listed buildings or within any special designations. If the path forms part of a front garden scheme, we’ll ensure water drains to a permeable area or uses a permeable surface such as resin bound or gravel. We’ll flag any potential Royal Borough of Greenwich requirements during the survey.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including issues such as sub-base failure, excessive settlement and edging movement when used as intended. Materials are supplied to manufacturer standards, and any product warranties (where applicable) are passed on. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from tree roots, ground movement outside the path footprint, or misuse such as heavy vehicle loading. We also provide care guidance for sealing, cleaning and winter maintenance.
We install natural stone, block paving, gravel, stepping stones, resin bound and brick paths, with options for curved routes, contrasting borders and integrated lighting. For Victorian terraces, brick and stone often suit the architecture; for modern apartments and courtyard gardens, resin bound can give a clean, contemporary look. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, drainage, maintenance and colour matching. Samples and layout sketches are available to finalise the finish before work begins.
