Bermondsey’s mix of riverside living and busy streets calls for pathways that look sharp and work hard. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance from Maltby Street Market, we create paths that guide movement, reduce muddy patches and elevate the whole garden. From front approaches to side returns, we tailor layouts to your routine. Every install is built for year-round grip and easy maintenance.
We regularly work across SE1 and SE16, where outdoor spaces range from compact courtyards to larger communal gardens. Converted warehouses often suit contemporary resin bound or large-format stone, while Victorian terraces benefit from traditional block paving with neat soldier-course edging. Modern apartments typically need clean, low-maintenance finishes and safe access routes. We design around bins, bike storage, shared entrances and tight boundaries common locally.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and design options that match your budget and style. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and add drainage solutions to prevent standing water where it matters most. You’ll get clear timelines, tidy working practices and straightforward communication from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Southwark, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Bermondsey gardens often have changes in level and older drainage runs, so we check falls and connect solutions where appropriate. We also consider foot traffic from shared pathways in modern developments around London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Materials are selected to suit local wear, shade, and maintenance expectations.

Costs vary by material, ground prep and detailing. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically fall between £120–£200 per m², and natural stone is commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£240 per m². Steps, lighting integration, edging and drainage can add to the total, especially in restricted-access SE1/SE16 sites.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days, depending on length, width and the amount of excavation required. A simple gravel path with edging can be completed quickly, while block paving or natural stone takes longer due to cutting, laying patterns and jointing. Resin bound installations are efficient but still require solid base preparation. Timescales can change with access, waste removal, drainage works, and poor weather during groundworks.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary wall, or your property is listed or within a conservation area. Surface water management matters too, particularly for front gardens. We’ll advise on permeable options such as resin bound or gravel and check any Southwark requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by poor compaction, and edging movement under normal use. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic foot traffic and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up when needed and avoiding heavy vehicle loads unless the path is designed for it.
We offer natural stone paths, block paved paths, gravel pathways and resin bound paths, with options for curved designs, contrasting edging and integrated lighting. Popular choices locally include contemporary porcelain-look stone for warehouse conversions, traditional tumbled block paving for Victorian terraces, and resin bound for clean, low-maintenance routes. We’ll help you choose colours, patterns and finishes that suit your property, drainage needs and daily use.
