A well-built path makes daily life easier, whether you’re walking from the gate to the front door or linking the patio to the lawn. We create pathways that suit Bromley gardens and complement the look of your home, from crisp modern lines to softer curved designs. Many clients near Bromley South station and The Glades Shopping Centre ask for low-maintenance finishes that stay tidy in wet weather. Our team delivers clean edges, stable bases and a finish that feels premium underfoot.
The London Borough of Bromley has a mix of large detached houses, Victorian villas and newer developments, often with generous frontages and side access. In areas such as Shortlands and Bickley, we’re frequently asked to match existing brickwork, period detailing and boundary styles. For modern plots, we design streamlined routes with subtle edging and integrated lighting. Whatever the property type, we focus on proportions, levels and safe, slip-resistant surfaces.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes and agree how you want to use the space. We then recommend materials and a layout, including curves, steps or landings where needed, and confirm a clear schedule. Installation includes proper excavation, a compacted sub-base and careful finishing to prevent rocking, puddling and weed ingress. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, keep sites tidy, and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
Bromley gardens often need careful level changes, especially between front steps and boundary lines, so we set falls to move water away from entrances. We also plan around practicalities like parking and access on BR1 and BR2 streets, arranging deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where clay-heavy ground is present, we strengthen the build-up and improve drainage to protect the finish. Designs are tailored to local property styles, from Victorian villas to contemporary developments.

Costs vary by material, groundworks and access. As a guide in Bromley, gravel pathways often start around £80–£140 per m², block paved paths typically range £120–£220 per m², and resin bound paths are commonly £140–£260 per m². Natural stone is usually £180–£320+ per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Steps, lighting, edging and drainage can add to the total.
Most garden pathways take 2–5 days on site once materials are confirmed, with larger or more detailed schemes taking 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, spoil removal, weather, curing time for resin or mortar, and whether we’re adding lighting, steps or drainage runs. Curved designs and intricate patterns can also extend the programme. We’ll provide a realistic schedule and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, a garden path is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. The key considerations are usually drainage and whether you’re altering levels significantly or working near boundaries, listed buildings or conservation areas. For front gardens, using permeable surfaces (such as resin bound or gravel) and directing water to a suitable soakaway helps meet surface water rules. We’ll advise on compliant options and check any Bromley-specific constraints before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as sub-base failure, movement due to inadequate compaction, or edging not being correctly restrained. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen stone, blocks or resin system. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and sensible maintenance, and we’ll give clear aftercare guidance at handover.
We design and build natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp lines and easy repairs, gravel pathways for a softer, cost-effective finish, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. Layout options include straight runs, curved designs, stepping-stone styles and feature borders. We can integrate lighting, add robust edging, and specify drainage solutions where water collects. We’ll help you choose based on style, maintenance and budget.
