A well-built path makes everyday life easier—bins out, bikes in, and guests arriving safely in all weather. We design and install pathways that suit Bexley’s mix of period charm and greener spaces, from routes near Hall Place to family gardens around Danson Park. Expect clean lines, confident levels and finishes that look right with your home’s architecture. Every pathway is planned for comfort underfoot and long-term durability.
Homeowners across Bexleyheath, Crayford and Barnehurst often need paths that complement 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer builds. We match materials and laying patterns to existing brickwork, boundary walls and garden layouts. Whether you want a formal straight run or a softer curved design, we’ll make sure it sits naturally within your plot. We also consider practical details like side access widths and front garden proportions common in DA5.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, including levels, edging and drainage solutions. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, then lay and finish to professional standards—no rocking slabs or sinking edges. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a schedule that respects your household routine. Local homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
The London Borough of Bexley includes a wide mix of soil types and mature trees, so we assess ground stability and root zones before setting levels. Many streets have limited parking or narrow side access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working areas to minimise disruption. We also design with rainfall in mind, incorporating permeable options and drainage channels where needed. If your property is near Bexley High Street or older boundaries, we’ll align materials to the local character.

Costs vary by material, access and ground preparation. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically range £110–£180 per m², and natural stone is commonly £140–£250+ per m². Resin bound paths are often £120–£200 per m² depending on base requirements. Edging, steps, lighting and drainage can add to the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on size and complexity. Larger projects with multiple branches, curved designs, steps or lighting integration can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, the need for a new sub-base, weather, and whether existing paving must be broken out and removed. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
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 highway, or if drainage could direct water onto the public footway. Using permeable surfaces (like resin bound or gravel) and managing run-off with proper falls and drainage solutions is often important. We’ll advise on best practice and check any relevant constraints before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge movement, and failures linked to installation methods. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that basic maintenance is followed (for example, keeping joints topped up where required). We’ll explain care requirements at handover.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for pattern and durability, gravel pathways for a softer, cost-effective finish, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. Design options include curved routes, contrasting edging, and integrated lighting for entrances and side passages. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your brickwork, planting scheme and how you use the space day to day.
