A well-planned path makes day-to-day life easier, from bins and bikes to prams and muddy boots. We deliver tailored pathway design & installation Earlsfield area homeowners can rely on, whether you want a neat front approach or a winding garden route. Working near Earlsfield station and along Garratt Lane, we build paths that suit busy residential streets and compact plots. Expect clean lines, solid sub-bases and finishes that look right from the pavement.
Earlsfield’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and conversions often have narrow side returns, stepped thresholds and small front gardens that need thoughtful levels. We design paths that complement period brickwork and traditional planting while improving access and kerb appeal. For rear gardens, we can introduce curved designs that soften long plots and connect patios, lawns and sheds. Every layout is measured to fit gates, storage areas and existing drainage runs.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification, then careful ground preparation and compaction. We install edging, falls and drainage solutions so water sheds correctly and surfaces stay stable through winter. If you choose lighting integration, we coordinate safe cable routes and placement for subtle, practical illumination. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
In SW18 we often encounter mixed ground and old garden layers, so we excavate to the right depth and build up a stable sub-base. Access can be tight around terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and tidy storage to keep disruption down. We also factor in surface water management, especially near the River Wandle and lower-lying spots, using permeable options and sensible falls. Our pathway design & installation in London Borough of Wandsworth is tailored to local property layouts and practical council expectations.

Costs vary by material, access and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £80–£140 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£200 per m², and natural stone commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£240 per m² depending on aggregate and edging. Steps, lighting and drainage can add to the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to completion, depending on length, curves and the chosen finish. Resin bound and block paving installations can be quicker on simple runs, while natural stone often takes longer due to cutting and detailing. Timescales also depend on access in SW18 terraces, waste removal, and whether we’re adding lighting integration or drainage channels. 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. The key consideration is surface water: front garden surfacing over 5m² should usually be permeable or drain to a permeable area, rather than the public sewer. If your property is in a conservation area or has unusual constraints, extra rules may apply. We advise on compliant materials and drainage solutions before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, failed edging due to poor fixing, or movement from incorrect compaction. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or lighting components). The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage routes aren’t altered after installation. We’ll explain care and maintenance to protect the finish.
You can choose from natural stone paths for a timeless look, block paved paths to match existing paving, gravel pathways for a softer, budget-friendly finish, or resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. We also design curved routes, add crisp edging in stone or metal, and include lighting integration for steps and borders. After assessing your garden levels and style, we’ll recommend colours, patterns and jointing that suit your home.
