A well-planned path makes everyday life easier, from bins to bikes to muddy boots. We design and build pathways that look right alongside Keston Common and the wider BR2 streetscape, while standing up to year-round use. Whether you want a straight, formal approach or a gentle curve towards the front door, we tailor levels, edges and finishes to your garden. Expect careful groundwork, neat joints and a result that feels like it has always belonged.
Keston homes range from period cottages to large detached houses and country properties, often with generous front gardens and longer side access. We regularly work across the pathway design & installation Keston area, including Hayes and Farnborough, where existing paving may be uneven or drainage is dated. For older plots, we match materials to brickwork and boundary walls; for modern upgrades, we keep lines crisp and low-maintenance. The aim is always the same: a path that improves kerb appeal and daily flow.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, including edging and drainage solutions. We excavate to the correct depth, install a stable sub-base, and finish with precise laying and clean detailing. If you’d like lighting integration, we coordinate cabling routes early so everything stays discreet. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, tidy working practices and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Ground conditions around Keston can vary, with clay-heavy soils that need robust sub-bases and thoughtful falls. We design drainage to protect lawns and borders, especially where paths run near homes or towards Keston Ponds walks. Access and parking can be tighter on village lanes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our finishes suit Bromley property styles, from traditional brick-fronted homes to larger country plots.

Costs depend on size, excavation depth, access and the chosen finish. 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. Edging, steps, lighting integration and drainage can add to the total, so we provide an itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to final clean-down, depending on length, curves and detailing. Larger schemes, complex levels, or multiple materials can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, drainage requirements, curing time for mortar or resin, and whether lighting integration is included. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout the build.
In many cases, a garden path is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering access onto the highway, working near protected trees, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage is also important: permeable surfaces or suitable run-off management may be required. We’ll advise during the survey and, where needed, help you check London Borough of Bromley guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, significant settlement and problems caused by incorrect laying. It also includes defects in edging installation and falls where these lead to avoidable pooling. Normal wear, accidental damage, or movement caused by external factors (for example, tree roots or heavy vehicle loading) isn’t covered. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on.
We install natural stone paths (including sandstone and limestone), block paved paths in a range of colours and patterns, gravel pathways with stabilising grids, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting borders, step transitions, and discreet lighting integration. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, maintenance preferences, slip resistance and drainage needs, then provide samples where possible.
