Those sloping gardens typical of CR8's hillside plots deserve proper pathways that work with the terrain, not against it. Whether you're navigating between Victorian townhouse borders or connecting spaces in modern developments near Purley Oaks, the right path transforms daily garden access. Materials matter here – from natural stone that complements Surrey's clay soil to permeable surfaces that handle our notorious downpours.
Path construction involves more than laying stones on soil. Proper excavation depth prevents winter frost heave, whilst careful gradient calculation ensures wheelchair accessibility without compromising drainage. Edging restraints keep gravel contained despite kids racing bikes along them. Sub-base compaction creates foundations lasting decades, particularly important given Purley's mix of London clay and chalky deposits.
Twenty years laying paths across Kenley's steep gardens and Sanderstead's sprawling plots brings perspective. Local suppliers mean materials arrive fresh, not weather-beaten from distant yards.
