Fine Landscaping designs and installs garden pathways that feel natural with your planting and practical for daily access. In Hayes (Bromley), we often create routes that connect front gardens to side gates, patios and sheds without cutting across lawns. Whether you’re near Hayes Common or heading towards Hayes station, we’ll shape the layout to suit your levels and foot traffic. Expect clean lines, tidy finishes and surfaces that stay safe underfoot.
The BR2 area has a mix of large detached houses, period cottages and well-kept 1930s properties, many with generous plots and established boundaries. That variety calls for sensitive design—curved paths that complement cottage gardens, or crisp block paved runs that suit wider drive-fronts. We also consider how pathways sit alongside brickwork, render and traditional detailing common across the London Borough of Bromley. The result is a path that looks like it has always belonged there.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear design and itemised quotation. Our installations include proper sub-base preparation, edging restraint and falls to manage surface water, with drainage solutions where needed. If you’d like lighting integration, we coordinate cabling routes early to keep everything neat. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Hayes has semi-rural pockets around West Common and Norman Park, where leaf fall, shade and damp conditions can affect surfaces. We specify materials and jointing methods that cope well with moss-prone areas and heavy rainfall, and we build in falls and drainage to protect nearby lawns and borders. Access and parking can vary on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our detailing suits period properties as well as wider-fronted 1930s homes.

Costs vary by material, ground preparation and complexity. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically £110–£180 per m², and natural stone commonly £140–£250+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £120–£200 per m² depending on base requirements. Curves, steps, lighting integration, edging and drainage can increase the overall price.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, access and the chosen surface. Small straight runs can be completed quicker, while curved designs, multiple landings, or complex edging take longer. Resin bound work may need additional curing time and a suitable base. Poor ground conditions, drainage upgrades and wet weather can also extend the programme.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary wall, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Surface water is also important—using permeable options like resin bound or gravel can help. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise what to check before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations. This covers installation-related issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect preparation, and edging restraint problems, subject to normal use. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product selected. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from tree roots, ground heave, or heavy vehicles where the path wasn’t designed for that loading.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp patterns and easy repairs, gravel pathways for a softer, semi-rural feel, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting edging, step transitions and integrated lighting. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your house style, existing paving and planting scheme.
