From W2 mansion blocks to mews entrances near Paddington station, a well-built path makes daily access easier and your exterior look more considered. We design and install pathways that suit busy streets, shared entrances and compact gardens. Expect clean lines, confident levels and surfaces that stay safe in wet weather. If you’re close to Little Venice or Paddington Basin, we can also plan discreet lighting for evening use.
Paddington homes range from stucco townhouses around Bayswater to modern apartments and mansion flats edging Marylebone and Maida Vale. These properties often need pathways that respect period detailing while handling heavy footfall from communal access. We match materials and colours to existing brickwork, railings and steps, and we’re careful around basements, lightwells and threshold levels. The result is a path that looks original to the building, not an afterthought.
Our process starts with a site visit to measure, check falls and discuss how you use the space. We then propose a layout—straight or curved designs—with edging, drainage solutions and optional lighting integration. Installation is handled by our in-house team with tidy working practices and clear communication throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, robust sub-bases and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning around controlled parking, timed deliveries and tight access to front gardens. We’re used to carrying materials through narrow side passages and protecting communal areas in mansion flats. Ground conditions can vary, so we build the right sub-base and include drainage where runoff could affect thresholds or basements. For the pathway design & installation paddington area, we also consider foot traffic and visibility from the street.

Costs vary with material choice, access and groundwork. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £80–£140 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£220 per m², and natural stone commonly £180–£350+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£260 per m². Curves, edging, steps, drainage solutions and lighting integration will increase the overall budget.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on length, complexity and access. Small straight runs can be completed quicker, while curved designs, multiple levels or intricate edging take longer. Weather, drying times for mortar, and any drainage works can also extend the programme. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development, but rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels and drainage. Permeable surfaces (such as gravel or resin bound) can help manage runoff and may reduce compliance issues. We’ll advise on suitable materials and check any relevant City of Westminster requirements before work starts, especially for front gardens and shared entrances.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including sub-base preparation, levels, and structural stability of the paved surface. This helps protect you against issues such as sinking, spreading edges or movement caused by inadequate groundwork. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp detailing, gravel pathways for a softer feel, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. Designs can be straight or gently curved, with contrasting edging to sharpen borders. We can integrate low-level lighting and specify drainage solutions where water management is critical. We’ll guide you through samples and layouts to suit your property style and budget.
