Bayswater’s garden squares and busy streets demand pathways that look refined and perform in all weather. Whether you’re near Queensway or walking distance to Kensington Gardens, we design routes that guide guests neatly from gate to door. Expect crisp lines, safe footing and finishes that complement period façades. From subtle curves to statement entrances, every path is built to last.
Homes across W2 often include stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats with shared entrances and compact front gardens. We’re used to working with steps, railings, lightwells and tight side returns, keeping access clear for residents. Our designs suit classic London detailing while improving day-to-day usability. If you want a smarter approach from street to threshold, we’ll tailor it to your layout.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear design proposal, then prepare a stable sub-base and install the chosen surface with proper falls. Drainage solutions are planned from the outset to reduce puddling and protect planting beds. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy handovers and aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, premium finishes and a 10-year warranty.
In Bayswater, access can be restricted by narrow pavements, parking controls and shared entrances, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for typical London clay and compacted subsoils by specifying robust sub-bases and reliable drainage falls. For properties near Whiteleys and around Hyde Park, we match materials to period detailing and conservation-minded streetscapes. Our pathway design & installation in City of Westminster is always planned with practicality and compliance in mind.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth, access and drainage needs. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £80–£140 per m², block paved paths around £120–£200 per m², and natural stone typically £160–£300+ per m². Resin bound paths are commonly £140–£240 per m². Steps, lighting integration, edging and complex curves can increase the overall budget.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finishing, depending on length, width and the chosen surface. Resin bound installations are often quicker once the base is prepared, while natural stone can take longer due to cutting and setting. Timescales can extend if we’re adding drainage channels, lighting cabling, or rebuilding sub-bases. Restricted access and parking arrangements in W2 may also affect scheduling.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development, especially within private front or rear gardens. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the highway, or working within a conservation area or listed building setting. Using permeable surfaces and directing water to your garden is often advisable. We’ll check the site specifics and advise on any City of Westminster requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our pathway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edging failures, and drainage performance related to our build. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up where relevant. We’ll explain what’s covered and provide care guidance at handover.
We offer natural stone paths (sandstone, limestone, granite), block paved paths in classic or contemporary patterns, gravel pathways with stabilisation and neat edging, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Design options include curved routes, contrasting borders, step details and lighting integration for entrances. We’ll help you choose based on your property style, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and how the path connects gates, bins and front doors.
