A well-built path makes everyday life easier—bins out, bikes in, and muddy shoes kept at bay. Our team designs and installs pathways that look sharp and feel solid underfoot, whether you want a straight run or a flowing curved layout. We work across SW16, including routes near Norbury station and up towards Norbury High Street. Every installation is planned around how you actually use the space.
Norbury homes often have narrow side returns, stepped entrances and compact front gardens, especially around Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and Victorian conversions. We design paths that complement period brickwork and existing boundary walls without looking “bolted on”. For properties near Pollards Hill and Streatham Vale, we also consider gradients and water run-off so the path stays safe in wet weather. The result is a pathway that suits the house and improves kerb appeal.
We start with a site visit, clear design options and a written specification—no vague allowances. Ground preparation is done properly: excavation, sub-base, compaction, falls and drainage where needed, then precise laying and jointing. We keep disruption low, manage waste responsibly and leave the site tidy each day. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, crisp finishes and a workmanship-backed 10-year warranty.
Path builds in the London Borough of Croydon need careful attention to levels, run-off and access. In Norbury, we often work with tight front boundaries, shared side passages and limited on-street parking near Norbury station. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, and we design permeable options where surface water management is important. Our approach suits local property styles and the practical realities of SW16.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by material, groundworks and access. As a guide in Norbury, gravel paths often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£200 per m², and natural stone commonly £160–£280+ per m². Resin bound pathways are usually £140–£240 per m² depending on base preparation. Steps, lighting integration, edging and drainage can add to the total.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, depending on length, curves and detailing. Resin bound systems may need additional curing time, while natural stone can take longer due to cutting and setting. Timescales are also affected by access in SW16, skip placement, and whether we’re adding drainage channels, edging, or lighting cables. We confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the highway, or working on a listed building or within special designations. We recommend permeable finishes or suitable drainage solutions to manage surface water. We’ll advise during the survey and, if needed, help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as sinking from inadequate sub-base preparation or poor edge restraint. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, resin systems or lighting components). The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll give clear care guidance to keep your path looking its best.
We install natural stone paths (including sandstone and limestone looks), block paved paths in a range of colours, low-maintenance gravel pathways with stabilisation, and smooth resin bound paths for a contemporary finish. Options include curved designs, contrasting edging, step details, and lighting integration along borders or risers. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, slip resistance, drainage needs and the amount of foot traffic.
