A well-built path makes everyday life easier—bins out, bikes in, and guests arriving safely in all weather. Our team designs and installs pathways that suit Eastfields homes, from clean modern lines to softer curved layouts. We regularly work near Eastfields station and along routes leading to Figges Marsh. Expect tidy workmanship, thoughtful detailing, and a finish that lifts kerb appeal.
Eastfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different levels, widths and drainage needs. Narrow side returns and stepped entrances are common, especially around SW16 and CR4. We design paths that feel proportionate to the property, align with existing thresholds, and keep access practical without sacrificing style. Materials and patterns are chosen to complement brickwork, render and boundary walls.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss how you use the space, and agree a clear design and specification. Your pathway is built on the correct sub-base, with edging for strength and drainage solutions to manage surface water responsibly. We protect surrounding planting, keep the site organised, and leave it clean at handover. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, transparent advice, and a finish that lasts.
Ground conditions in the London Borough of Merton can vary, so we assess levels and water run-off before we build. Many Eastfields streets have limited parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where front gardens fall towards the pavement, we incorporate falls and drainage to keep water away from thresholds. We also match materials to local streetscapes, from traditional brick and stone to contemporary resin finishes.

Costs depend on materials, ground preparation and detailing. As a guide, gravel pathways often start 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, lighting integration, edging and drainage can add to the total, especially on sloping plots.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on size and complexity. A simple straight run in gravel can be completed quickly, while curved designs in stone or block paving take longer due to cutting and detailing. Timescales can also change if we’re adding lighting, building steps, or installing drainage solutions. Weather and access for materials in busy residential streets can affect scheduling too.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels near boundaries, working close to listed buildings, or altering front garden surfacing in a way that affects surface water drainage. We design with permeable options where appropriate and include drainage solutions to manage run-off. If approvals or checks are needed, we’ll flag this early and guide you through it.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installation workmanship, covering issues linked to the build such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect preparation, or edging that has not been installed to specification. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and that basic maintenance is followed, such as keeping joints topped up where applicable and avoiding harsh chemicals on finishes.
We install natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for strong patterns and easy repairs, gravel pathways for a softer, cost-effective finish, and resin bound paths for a sleek, permeable surface. We can add curved designs, crisp edging in stone or metal, and lighting integration for steps and borders. During the design stage we’ll show samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend options that suit your property style and budget.
