A well-planned path makes daily life easier—bins, bikes, prams and muddy shoes all benefit from a clear route. In Peckham, we design and install pathways that look sharp and perform in all weather, from garden gates to patios and side returns. Whether you’re near Peckham Rye Park or around Queen’s Road, we’ll match the style to your home and planting. Expect clean lines, safe footing and finishes that elevate kerb appeal.
Our team understands the mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouse apartments found across SE15. Many properties have narrow side access and shared boundaries, so we plan layouts that maximise width without feeling cramped. For period homes, we often specify natural stone or sympathetic block paving; for modern conversions, resin bound or sleek sawn stone can look spot-on. If you’re in Nunhead or East Dulwich, we’ll tailor levels and edging to suit existing thresholds and garden walls.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss how you use the space. Then we design the route, set falls for drainage solutions, and install a robust sub-base before laying your chosen finish with precise edging. We keep the site tidy, communicate clearly, and schedule deliveries to reduce disruption. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable workmanship, transparent options, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Peckham gardens often have tight access, limited parking, and busy streets, so we plan materials, deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for typical London clay and compacted ground by specifying the right sub-base depth and drainage. Where properties sit close to boundaries, we use neat edging and accurate levels to protect neighbouring walls and fences. If required, we can align designs with Southwark expectations around permeable surfaces and runoff control.

Costs vary by material, ground preparation and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths are typically £120–£180 per m², and natural stone is commonly £160–£250+ per m². Resin bound paths usually fall around £140–£220 per m². Steps, lighting integration, edging and drainage solutions can increase the total, especially on sloping sites.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to completion, depending on length, curves and detailing. Larger schemes or those needing significant drainage solutions, retaining edges, or multiple levels can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales also depend on access (common in SE15), curing times for bedding and jointing, and weather. We’ll provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. Surface water management matters too—permeable finishes or suitable drainage may be required to avoid runoff to the highway. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check any Southwark-specific requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by sub-base failure, loose edging, and installation-related movement. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or underground leaks after completion. We also pass on relevant manufacturer warranties for products where available. You’ll receive care guidance to keep joints, gravel and surfaces performing well.
We offer natural stone paths (including sawn or riven finishes), block paved paths in a range of colours and patterns, gravel pathways with stabilisation options, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable surface. Curved designs are popular for softening long gardens, while straight runs suit side returns and modern layouts. We can add lighting integration, crisp edging, and drainage solutions where needed. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style and budget.
