From Catford Broadway to Mountsfield Park, homeowners in SE6 want paths that stay tidy, safe and easy to maintain. We design and install pathways that suit the way you use your garden—bins, bikes, prams and everyday footfall included. Whether you prefer a crisp modern look or something more traditional, we’ll match materials and detailing to your property. Expect clean lines, neat falls and a finish that lifts kerb appeal.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council homes often comes with narrow side returns, shared access routes and sloping plots. Our pathway design & installation Catford area service is built around those realities, with sensible widths, non-slip finishes and strong edging to keep everything in place. We also pay attention to transitions—steps, thresholds and gates—so the route feels natural. If you’re in Hither Green or Grove Park, we can tailor layouts for longer gardens and rear access.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and agree a design you’ll be happy to live with. Sub-base depth, compaction and falls are handled properly, so the surface doesn’t dip or puddle after a wet winter. You’ll get clear options on materials, timelines and aftercare, plus a tidy, respectful team on site. Local homeowners choose us for pathway design & installation in London Borough of Lewisham because we deliver consistent workmanship and reliable communication.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find mixed ground and older garden layers that need careful excavation and compaction. Catford streets can mean limited parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. We also design with typical front garden levels and thresholds in mind, helping manage runoff away from doorways. Where needed, we include discreet drainage solutions to keep paths usable year-round.

Costs vary by material, access and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, gravel pathways often start from around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically range £120–£200 per m², and natural stone is commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£240 per m². Steps, edging, drainage channels and lighting will add to the total.
Most garden pathways take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, depending on length, curves and the surface chosen. Resin bound and block paving can be quick once the base is prepared, while natural stone may take longer due to cutting and setting. Timescales also change with access restrictions, spoil removal, and whether drainage or lighting integration is included. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, a garden path is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, using permeable surfaces and managing runoff is important. We’ll advise on compliant options and can help you check any Lewisham Council requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installation workmanship. This covers issues linked to installation quality, such as sub-base failure, sinking due to poor compaction, or edging movement (subject to normal use and site conditions). Natural wear, accidental damage, and lack of routine maintenance aren’t covered. We’ll also explain manufacturer warranties for specific products, such as resin systems or lighting components, where applicable.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look; block paving for crisp patterns and easy repairs; gravel pathways for a softer, cost-effective finish; and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting borders, edging in stone or metal, and lighting integration along steps or entrances. We’ll help you choose based on style, slip resistance, drainage needs and maintenance preferences.
