Putney's mix of period properties and modern developments each bring their own garden path challenges. Those narrow side returns typical of SW15's terraced houses need clever design to maximise space. Meanwhile, the larger plots near Putney Heath offer scope for sweeping curves and multiple destinations. Materials matter too – what works brilliantly in a contemporary courtyard might jar with an Edwardian villa's character.
Creating lasting pathways involves more than laying stones on soil. Proper groundwork prevents that frustrating sinking and shifting you see after a few wet winters. Drainage channels hidden beneath ensure puddles don't form where the lawn meets hard surfaces. Edge restraints, often overlooked, stop gravel migrating into flower beds and keep block paving tight. Smart planning means accounting for wheelbarrow routes, bin access, and those muddy shortcuts kids inevitably create.
Twenty years working across Putney means understanding which materials survive our local conditions. From frost-resistant Indian sandstone to permeable resin-bound surfaces that help with SW15's drainage requirements, experience shows what lasts and what doesn't.

Most SW15 garden paths range from £1,800 for a simple gravel pathway to £6,500 for premium natural stone with lighting. Smaller terraced properties often spend £2,500-£3,500 for a practical yet attractive solution.
Absolutely – from the riverside properties near Putney Bridge to homes backing onto Putney Heath, plus neighbouring areas like Roehampton and Barnes. Local knowledge helps navigate parking permits and access restrictions.
Basic gravel paths are walkable immediately. Paved pathways need 2-3 days for installation, then light use after 24 hours. Full curing takes about a week, depending on materials chosen.
Each pathway includes decade-long coverage against settlement, material defects, and workmanship issues. This means any problems with levels, loose materials, or drainage get sorted without cost to you.
Definitely. Protective boarding shields lawns and beds during work. Mature plants stay put wherever possible, with paths curved around established features. Most gardens need minimal restoration once we're finished.
