From Camberwell Green to Denmark Hill station, homeowners want pathways that look sharp and stay safe in all weather. We design and install paths that guide visitors cleanly from gate to door, reduce muddy patches, and complement planting. Whether you prefer a straight run or a sweeping curve, we build to suit the space and the way you use it. Every installation includes careful preparation so the surface performs year-round in SE5.
Camberwell’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often come with narrow side returns, steps, and compact front gardens where levels matter. Modern apartments and shared entrances also need hard-wearing, low-maintenance routes that keep communal areas tidy. We match materials and detailing to the property—traditional stone edging for period homes, or crisp resin bound finishes for contemporary schemes. Our local team is based just 20 minutes away, so site visits and follow-ups are straightforward.
Our process starts with a measured survey, design options, and a clear specification covering sub-base depth, falls and drainage. We protect surrounding brickwork, planting and thresholds, then install with tidy joints, solid edging restraint and reliable compaction. You’ll get a written 10-year workmanship warranty and practical aftercare guidance. Local clients choose us for punctual scheduling, clean working practices and finishes that stay level and weed-resistant.
We’re used to Camberwell access constraints—on-street parking, narrow passages and timed deliveries—so we plan materials and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions vary from compacted clay to made-up ground, so we tailor sub-bases and drainage to avoid future movement. For properties near King’s College Hospital or busy routes, we schedule works to minimise disruption. This pathway design & installation in London Borough of Southwark is delivered with an eye on period detailing and modern performance.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide in SE5, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£200 per m², and resin bound paths around £140–£220 per m². Natural stone is usually £160–£300+ per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Steps, lighting, edging and drainage can add to the total.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, curves, and the amount of groundwork required. Resin bound installations can be quicker once the base is prepared, while natural stone often takes longer due to cutting and detailing. Poor access, skip permits, drainage upgrades, and changes in levels can extend the schedule. We provide a clear programme before work starts.
In many cases, a garden path is permitted development, especially within a front or rear garden. The key considerations are drainage and surface water: permeable finishes (like resin bound or gravel) or directing water to a suitable soakaway can help compliance. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or the works alter access significantly, extra rules may apply. We’ll advise and check requirements before installation.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations, covering issues linked to installation quality such as unstable edging restraints, settlement caused by inadequate compaction, or jointing failures. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or lighting components). The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate maintenance, and we’ll explain the aftercare needed to keep the surface looking its best.
We offer natural stone paths (including sawn or riven finishes), block paved paths in a range of colours and laying patterns, gravel pathways with stabilising grids, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. Design options include curved runs, contrasting edging, step integration, and discreet lighting for entrances. We’ll recommend choices based on slip resistance, shading, maintenance preferences and how the path complements your home’s brickwork and garden style.
