From King Street townhouses to riverside apartments near Hammersmith Bridge, a well-built path makes daily access easier and your garden look finished. We design routes that feel natural underfoot, reduce muddy shortcuts and connect gates, patios and bins neatly. Whether you want a straight run to the front door or a curved garden walkway, we tailor the layout to your plot. Our team also integrates edging, drainage and lighting so the path performs in all seasons.
Hammersmith homes range from Victorian terraces and mansion flats to modern riverside developments, each with different levels, thresholds and access points. We often work with narrow side returns, basement steps and shared entrances where precise falls and tidy detailing matter. For mansion blocks and communal gardens, we specify durable, low-maintenance finishes that stay presentable with regular foot traffic. If you’re in W6 near Brook Green or Shepherd’s Bush borders, we’ll design to suit both period character and contemporary upgrades.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal showing materials, edging and drainage strategy. We prepare a solid sub-base, install the surface to manufacturer standards, and finish with clean joints and crisp lines. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, respectful working practices and a dedicated point of contact throughout. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, accurate levels and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, access can be tight, with controlled parking and busy roads near major routes. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption, especially around King Street. Ground conditions vary from compacted made ground to heavier clay, so we adjust sub-base depth and drainage details accordingly. For Victorian terraces and mansion flats, we keep finishes sympathetic and ensure falls direct water away from thresholds.

Costs vary by material, ground preparation and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths £110–£180 per m², natural stone £140–£250+ per m², and resin bound £120–£200 per m². Steps, curved designs, lighting integration, edging and drainage channels can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days, depending on size and complexity. A small straight run in gravel may be completed in 1–2 days, while natural stone or block paving with curves, edging and lighting can take a week. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, waste removal, access in W6, and whether drainage improvements are needed. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working in a conservation area, or affecting drainage to the public highway. For front gardens, using permeable surfaces (like gravel or resin bound) and managing runoff is often important. We’ll advise on the safest approach and can help you check any council guidance relevant to your property.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge movement, and drainage-related failures linked to our build. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable maintenance, such as keeping joints topped up where required and avoiding heavy vehicle loads on pedestrian paths. Full terms are provided with your quote.
We install natural stone paths (sandstone, limestone, granite), block paved paths in a range of colours and patterns, gravel pathways with stabilisation grids, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting edging, step details, and subtle lighting integration along borders or risers. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and how the route is used day to day.
