A well-built path makes daily life easier, keeps shoes cleaner and lifts kerb appeal instantly. We deliver bespoke pathways that connect gates, patios and sheds with clean lines and comfortable walking surfaces. Many clients near Bluewater Shopping Centre and Central Park ask for low-maintenance finishes that still look premium. From straight runs to sweeping curved designs, we tailor every detail to your layout.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments means no two gardens are the same. We regularly install paths across DA1 and DA2, including Wilmington and Greenhithe, where access widths and levels can vary. Older properties often benefit from improved falls and discreet drainage solutions to prevent puddling. Newer plots typically suit crisp edging, resin bound paths and lighting integration for a modern look.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss materials and check levels, then provide a clear written specification. Groundworks are done properly: excavation, compacted sub-base, accurate falls and tidy edging for long-term stability. We keep disruption controlled with planned deliveries and a clean, safe work area. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, precise finishing and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across Dartford Borough, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and varying levels between house and garden. Parking and access can be tighter around terraces, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where runoff is a concern, we incorporate drainage solutions and permeable options such as resin bound or gravel. Our pathway design & installation Dartford area service is adapted to each plot’s shape, boundaries and existing surfaces.

Costs depend on size, groundwork depth, access and the chosen finish. As a guide in Dartford, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically £110–£180 per m², and resin bound paths about £120–£200 per m². Natural stone paths can range from £140–£260+ per m². Curves, steps, lighting integration and extra drainage can increase the total.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days, depending on length, width and the amount of excavation required. Resin bound installations may need additional curing time, while natural stone can take longer due to cutting and setting. Access restrictions, spoil removal, weather and any drainage solutions can also affect timescales. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site survey and keep you updated throughout the build.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a highway, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Surface water management also matters, so permeable finishes and correct falls are important. We’ll advise on best practice and check any relevant Dartford Borough requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by inadequate compaction, and edging that loosens due to installation faults. Materials are also supplied with manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from abuse, heavy vehicles on pedestrian paths, or issues caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain care and maintenance to protect your finish.
We install natural stone paths for a timeless look, block paved paths for crisp patterns, gravel pathways for cost-effective drainage, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Designs can be straight or gently curved, with contrasting edging to frame borders and lawns. We can also add lighting integration for steps and key turning points. Our pathway design & installation in Dartford Borough service includes guidance on colours, textures and slip resistance.
