A well-planned path makes daily life easier—bins, buggies, bikes and muddy shoes all benefit from a solid route. We design and install pathways across KT3, from New Malden High Street terraces to quieter residential roads near Manor Park. Choose a clean, straight run to the door or a curved design that softens planting beds. Every build is finished with neat edging and falls that help water drain away.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments calls for different solutions. We match materials and proportions to your property, whether you want a traditional stone feel or a crisp contemporary line. Many homes have modest front gardens and shared side access, so we plan widths, turning points and step transitions carefully. If you’re near Beverley Park or commuting routes, we also prioritise slip resistance and low-maintenance finishes.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, including material samples where helpful. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, and add drainage solutions to reduce puddling and frost heave. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy storage and daily clean-downs. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent communication, skilled installation, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to working across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. In the New Malden area, ground conditions and existing hardstanding vary widely, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. We also consider levels around thresholds, air bricks and shared boundaries to avoid damp and disputes. If council guidance applies, we factor it in from the start.

Costs vary by material, width, ground prep and drainage needs. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths around £120–£200 per m², and resin bound paths commonly £140–£220 per m². Natural stone is usually £160–£300+ per m² depending on the stone and detailing. Steps, lighting integration and complex curves can increase the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days on site once materials are confirmed. Small, straight runs can be quicker, while curved designs, multiple levels, or extensive excavation and drainage may take a week or more. Weather, access for skips and deliveries, and curing times (especially for resin bound systems) can affect the schedule. We provide a clear programme before work starts and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development, but rules can apply depending on drainage and surface water run-off. For front gardens, using permeable materials (such as resin bound or gravel) or directing water to a suitable soakaway is often important. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re altering levels near boundaries, extra checks may be needed. We advise on compliance and can help you confirm requirements.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, edging failure, or jointing problems when installed and maintained as advised. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. You’ll receive care guidance to keep your path looking its best.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp lines and easy repairs, gravel pathways for a softer, cost-effective finish, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. Designs can be straight or curved, with contrasting edging, step details, and lighting integration for safer evenings. We’ll help you choose based on your home style, maintenance preferences, drainage needs and budget.
