Those narrow side returns and compact Tooting gardens deserve pathways that actually work with the space you've got. Let's talk about creating routes through your garden that make sense for how you really use it.

Victorian terraces in Tooting often come with that classic challenge - long, thin gardens that feel like corridors rather than outdoor rooms. A thoughtfully designed path can completely change how these spaces flow. Whether you're navigating around that awkward manhole cover near Tooting Bec station or working with the typical clay soil that plagues gardens between the Northern line tracks, the right pathway transforms daily garden navigation.
Material choice matters when you're dealing with Tooting's particular mix of London clay and century-old drainage. Permeable resin-bound surfaces handle our sudden downpours brilliantly, while reclaimed York stone echoes the area's heritage. Indian sandstone offers durability without breaking the budget - crucial when you've just stretched for that SW17 mortgage. Each option brings different maintenance needs and visual impact to consider.
Twelve years of laying paths from Furzedown to Tooting Broadway means knowing exactly which suppliers deliver on time and which drainage solutions actually work in this postcode. Local knowledge beats fancy brochures every time.

Most SW17 garden paths fall between £85-120 per square metre, depending on materials and ground preparation needed. A standard 15-metre path connecting patio to shed usually lands around £1,800-2,400 complete.
Absolutely - those classic SW17 railway-side terraces with 5-6 metre wide plots are our bread and butter. We've developed specific techniques for maximising usable space while maintaining proper drainage.
Standard residential paths in SW17 generally need 3-5 days from excavation to final sealing. Weather permitting, of course - we all know how unpredictable Tooting drizzle can be.
Every path we lay includes decade-long coverage against settlement and material defects. This means any sinking, cracking or drainage issues within 10 years get sorted at no extra cost.
Curves work brilliantly in compact spaces - they actually make gardens feel larger by breaking up those rigid boundaries. We use flexible edging systems that hold their shape perfectly against SW17's heavy clay.
