Greenwich homes deserve pathways that look refined and work brilliantly year-round. From routes leading to terraces near Greenwich Park to side access paths around Maze Hill, we create layouts that feel natural and practical. Expect crisp detailing, tidy edges and surfaces that stay firm underfoot. Every design is tailored to how you actually use your garden.
We regularly work across SE10 and nearby streets where Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments sit side by side. Period properties often suit natural stone and sympathetic edging, while newer builds benefit from clean-lined resin bound paths and subtle lighting integration. We also consider shared access, bin routes and tight side returns common in older homes. The result is a pathway that complements the architecture and improves daily flow.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and design options, then a clear written specification. We excavate properly, install a solid sub-base, and add drainage solutions where needed to prevent pooling and algae. You’ll get straightforward timelines, neat workmanship and respectful site management. Homeowners choose us because we deliver premium finishes backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we often encounter mixed ground conditions, mature tree roots and changes in level, especially near parkland. We plan falls carefully and specify drainage channels or permeable builds where appropriate. Access and parking can be restricted on residential streets, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our detailing is chosen to suit both heritage façades and contemporary developments.

Costs vary by material, access, excavation depth and drainage needs. As a guide, gravel pathways often start from around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths from £110–£180 per m², and natural stone from £140–£250+ per m². Resin bound paths typically range from £120–£200 per m². Curves, steps, edging and lighting integration will affect the final figure.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days, depending on length, complexity and material choice. A simple gravel path with edging can be completed quickly, while natural stone or block paving with curved designs, steps and lighting may take longer. Timescales also depend on excavation requirements, waste removal, and whether drainage solutions are needed. We confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and levels check.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, properties near protected settings, and where significant changes to levels or drainage are involved. Using permeable surfaces or directing water to suitable soakaway areas is often important. We’ll advise on compliant construction and can help you understand any council requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failures related to our installation methods. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product selected. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, extreme misuse, or ground movement caused by factors outside our control. We’ll explain coverage clearly in writing.
We offer natural stone paths for timeless character, block paved paths for crisp patterns, gravel pathways for a softer look, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting edging, inset features and lighting integration along key routes. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your property style and garden planting, then finalise a design that balances aesthetics, grip and drainage.
