Garden paths in SW19 and SW20 present unique opportunities. Many properties here feature elongated plots stretching away from period homes, where a thoughtfully designed pathway becomes the backbone of the entire garden design. From Wimbledon Village's grand residences to the terraced gardens near South Wimbledon station, each space calls for its own approach to movement and flow.
Material selection proves crucial when London clay meets seasonal rainfall. Resin-bound surfaces offer permeability without sacrificing elegance, while reclaimed York stone echoes the area's heritage aesthetic. Natural aggregate paths suit informal cottage gardens, particularly those backing onto Wimbledon Common. Installation depth varies depending on existing drainage patterns – something we assess carefully given the area's mixture of gravel subsoils and heavy clay pockets.
Twenty years navigating Wimbledon's planning requirements means understanding which materials complement Conservation Area guidelines. Local knowledge matters when matching existing boundary walls or selecting tones that harmonise with established planting schemes.

Budget £85-£150 per square metre depending on materials. A 20-metre curved path through a typical Raynes Park garden usually falls between £2,500-£4,000, including proper foundations and edging.
Absolutely – from the grand gardens of Wimbledon Village to compact courtyards in SW20. Regular projects span Raynes Park, Cottenham Park, and properties bordering the Common.
Most installations complete within 3-5 days. Resin-bound surfaces need 24 hours before light use, while natural stone paths are immediately accessible once laid.
Each path carries decade-long protection against settlement or material failure. This covers both the surface and the crucial sub-base preparation that prevents future problems.
Definitely – permeable construction methods protect mature trees while providing stable surfaces. Self-binding gravel or cellular systems work brilliantly around the magnificent oaks and chestnuts common in older Wimbledon gardens.
