From town gardens near the Design Museum to leafy approaches by Holland Park, a well-designed path changes how your outdoor space feels and functions. We create routes that look intentional, guide guests naturally, and stay safe underfoot in wet weather. Whether you want a crisp front path or a softer garden trail, we tailor the layout, levels and detailing to suit your property. Work is carried out with care for planting, boundaries and existing features.
Holland Park properties often include large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period homes where proportions and materials matter. We match pathways to heritage brickwork, iron railings and traditional façades without making the garden feel over-engineered. In W11 and W14, we also see compact side returns and shared access routes that need smart curves and tidy edging. Our designs prioritise clean lines, durable finishes and easy maintenance for busy households.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the space day-to-day. Then we propose a clear design with material samples, drainage strategy and lighting integration where needed. Installation includes proper sub-base preparation, accurate falls, and neat edge restraints to prevent spreading or settlement. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit behind steps or retaining walls, making levels and drainage especially important. We build falls away from buildings and use edging that suits period detailing. If your home is near Kyoto Garden or on a busy route towards Shepherd’s Bush, we also consider noise control and tidy, staged working.

Costs vary by material, ground prep and detailing. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £90–£150 per m², block paved paths typically range £140–£220 per m², and resin bound paths are usually £160–£260 per m². Natural stone is commonly £200–£350+ per m² depending on the stone and pattern. Steps, edging, lighting and drainage channels can add to the total.
Most garden or front pathways take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, access and the material chosen. Resin bound installations may need additional curing time, while natural stone can take longer due to cutting and setting. Timescales also change if we’re adding drainage solutions, lighting integration or rebuilding levels near steps. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In many cases, a new garden path is permitted development, especially within the front or back garden. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, working near a listed building, or altering surfaces in the front garden where drainage is a concern. We recommend permeable finishes such as gravel or resin bound where appropriate. We’ll flag any likely constraints and help you check requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement, and edge restraint problems (subject to normal use). Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, such as resin systems and lighting components. The warranty relies on correct aftercare and avoiding heavy vehicle loads unless the path has been specified for them. We explain maintenance clearly at handover.
We offer natural stone paths (including sawn or tumbled finishes), block paved paths in traditional or contemporary colours, gravel pathways with stabilisation grids, and smooth resin bound paths in a wide range of aggregates. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting edging, step details, and discreet lighting integration along borders or risers. We help you choose based on the property style, slip resistance, drainage needs and how much maintenance you want.
