From Wandle Park to the River Wandle walks, Colliers Wood homeowners value practical outdoor routes that look good year-round. We design and install pathways that guide you cleanly from gate to door, patio to lawn, or bin store to side access. Whether you want a straight run or a softer curved design, we build it to suit your garden layout. Our team works across SW19, including South Wimbledon and nearby streets off the High Street.
Colliers Wood has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern apartments, each with different access and levels. Terraces often need narrow, efficient side paths with robust edging, while semis benefit from wider approaches and improved drainage. Modern blocks can require tidy, low-maintenance finishes that stay looking sharp with minimal upkeep. We tailor sub-bases, falls and materials to match the property and how you use the space.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear design options with samples, then confirm levels, drainage routes and edging details before any digging begins. Every path is built on a properly compacted sub-base, with neat cuts, consistent joints and clean transitions to lawns and patios. We keep disruption low, protect surrounding planting, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent specifications and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
For pathway design & installation in London Borough of Merton, we consider local ground conditions, existing levels and how water runs after heavy rain. Colliers Wood streets can have tight access and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where gardens sit near mature trees or older drains, we adjust excavation depths and include practical drainage solutions. The result is a path that stays stable, drains properly and suits the property style.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, ground preparation and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically sit at £120–£200 per m², and natural stone is commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£240 per m² depending on base requirements. Curves, steps, edging, lighting and drainage can increase the overall budget.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, depending on length, width and material. A small straight run in gravel may be completed in 1–2 days, while block paving, resin bound or natural stone often needs extra time for base preparation and precise laying. Curved designs, steps, lighting integration and drainage channels add time. Poor weather and restricted access in SW19 can also affect scheduling.
In many cases, a garden pathway is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or affecting drainage to the public highway. Using permeable surfaces (such as resin bound or gravel) and managing runoff on-site is often advisable. We’ll flag any potential issues, check practical requirements, and advise if you should confirm details with the London Borough of Merton.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or poor compaction. It also covers failures in edging stability and jointing where these are part of our specification. Normal wear, accidental damage, and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain the warranty in writing and provide care guidance to keep your path looking its best.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp patterns and easy repairs, gravel pathways for cost-effective permeability, and resin bound paths for a smooth, low-maintenance finish. Design options include curved routes, contrasting edging, step details, and lighting integration for safer evenings. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit brickwork and planting, then set levels and drainage so the path performs as well as it looks.
