Morden's mix of interwar semis and newer builds means garden layouts vary dramatically from street to street. Whether navigating the compact plots near Morden Hall Park or working with the generous spaces found in Lower Morden, pathways solve practical problems while adding character. Clay-heavy soil common to SM4 requires specific preparation techniques to prevent future settling or drainage issues.
Material selection depends on both aesthetic preferences and practical considerations unique to your plot. Gravel paths suit informal cottage-style gardens, while sleek porcelain provides contemporary clean lines. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the freeze-thaw movement that affects poorly installed paths throughout South London winters. Drainage channels integrated beneath prevent waterlogging issues typical in Morden's low-lying areas.
Twenty years installing paths across SM4 has taught us which techniques last. Local knowledge matters when dealing with mature tree roots from Morden's abundant London planes or managing the slight slopes common near St Helier.

Simple straight runs complete within 2-3 days, whilst curved designs or those requiring significant groundwork might need a full week.
Every installation includes decade-long coverage against structural failure, with annual check-ups ensuring joints remain stable and surfaces level throughout seasonal ground movement.
Absolutely. Hand-digging near established borders protects root systems, while temporary boarding shields precious plants during construction. Many Morden gardens feature mature shrubs we carefully work around.
