A well-built path makes everyday life easier—bins out, prams through, guests arriving—while lifting kerb appeal. In BR7, we design pathways that suit the character of Chislehurst, from homes near Chislehurst Common to properties close to St Nicholas Church. Expect clean lines, confident levels and a surface that stays stable in wet weather. Every installation is planned around how you actually use the space.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties often benefit from wider, more generous approaches and sympathetic materials. We regularly work across Elmstead and nearby Mottingham, matching finishes to brickwork, boundary walls and planting schemes. Whether you want a formal front path or a softer garden route, we’ll balance practicality with a premium look. Curved designs can also help soften long elevations and guide movement naturally.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, access and drainage, then provide a clear design and specification. Our team installs proper sub-bases, edging restraints and falls to reduce puddling and movement over time. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us because the finish looks refined—and it lasts.
Ground conditions in the London Borough of Bromley can vary, so we assess subsoil and existing levels before specifying the base. Many BR7 properties have mature trees, which can influence root zones and drainage runs, so we plan routes and excavation carefully. Access and parking can be tighter on some residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is a pathway that fits the property’s character and performs year-round.

Costs depend on material, excavation depth, edging and drainage requirements. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £80–£140 per m², block paving typically £120–£200 per m², natural stone commonly £160–£280+ per m², and resin bound paths around £140–£220 per m². Curves, steps, lighting and complex levels can increase labour. We provide a detailed written quotation after a site survey.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days, depending on size, access and the amount of excavation required. A simple straight run in gravel may be completed in 1–2 days, while natural stone or block paving with curves, edging and lighting integration often takes 3–7 days. Poor ground, tree roots, and drainage works can extend timelines. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a highway boundary, or if the property is listed or within a conservation area. Drainage is also important—using permeable surfaces or directing run-off appropriately can be required. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check any London Borough of Bromley guidance before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty covering installation defects such as sinking due to inadequate sub-base, edging failure, and issues linked to poor compaction or falls. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and any product warranties (for example on resin systems or lighting components) are passed on where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by third-party works. We also provide care guidance to protect the finish.
We install natural stone (sandstone, limestone, granite), block paved paths in a range of colours and laying patterns, low-maintenance resin bound surfaces, and classic gravel pathways with stabilisation options. Design choices include curved routes, contrasting borders, step details, and clean edging in stone, brick or metal. We can also integrate discreet pathway lighting for safer evenings. We’ll recommend options based on your home’s style, drainage needs and budget.
