Picture meandering through your garden on a path that complements those mature oaks so characteristic of Sevenoaks properties. Whether connecting your Victorian terrace to its shed or creating elegant routes through larger TN14 estates, the right pathway transforms both access and aesthetics.

Kent's clay soil presents particular challenges when installing garden paths around Sevenoaks. Heavy rain pools on compacted surfaces, while summer drought creates cracks that damage inferior installations. Local expertise matters - understanding how Ragstone walls interact with pathway drainage, or why certain gravels shift on the slopes common to Kemsing properties. Each material choice reflects decades of experience with North Downs geology.
Material selection begins with your garden's character. York stone suits period properties throughout Dunton Green, developing attractive patina alongside established borders. Modern porcelain offers slip-resistance crucial for shaded areas beneath those towering boundary trees. Permeable options like resin-bound gravel manage surface water effectively - essential given recent flooding concerns across TN15. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the settling issues that plague DIY attempts on our challenging terrain.
Twenty-three years working across Otford to Riverhead means recognising subtle ground conditions others miss. Long-term residents trust recommendations based on neighbouring installations still pristine after fifteen winters.

Basic gravel paths typically range £45-65 per square metre, while natural stone installations run £85-120. Most Sevenoaks gardens require 15-30m² of pathway. Complex layouts or challenging access increases costs moderately.
Projects regularly take us throughout TN13 (central Sevenoaks), TN14 (Dunton Green, Riverhead), and TN15 (Otford, Kemsing). Also covering Seal, Shoreham, and surrounding villages.
Simple gravel paths often finish within 2-3 days. Natural stone installations typically need 4-6 days including ground preparation. Weather and access constraints occasionally extend schedules slightly.
Every pathway installation includes decade-long coverage against structural failures. This encompasses settling, drainage problems, and material defects - genuine protection reflecting confidence in proper groundwork preparation.
Sound concrete provides excellent substrate for resin-bound surfaces or porcelain overlays. Assessment determines suitability - minor cracks often seal successfully, though severe movement requires complete renewal. Overlaying typically costs 40% less than full replacement.
