From quick access routes to statement garden walkways, we design and build paths that suit how you use your outdoor space in SW16. Homeowners near Pollards Hill Library and along South Lodge Avenue often ask for cleaner, safer routes to bins, side gates and patios. We can create straight or curved layouts, blend new paths into existing landscaping, and ensure the finish complements your home. Every installation is planned for durability, drainage and kerb appeal.
Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area with strong local amenities and plenty of green space, so pathways need to cope with everyday footfall and muddy winters. We regularly work on 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes across Norbury, Mitcham and Streatham Vale, where garden levels and narrow side access are common. Our team designs paths that feel proportionate to smaller front gardens and longer rear plots. We’ll also match materials to existing brickwork, render tones and boundary walls for a cohesive look.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then careful ground preparation and a tidy installation. We integrate edging to keep lines crisp, and add drainage solutions where water tends to sit. If you’d like evening usability, we can include low-glare lighting integration along key edges and steps. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful workmanship and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
We tailor pathway design & installation in London Borough of Merton to local conditions, including compacted sub-bases, clay-heavy patches and shaded gardens near mature trees. Access can be tight around maisonettes and side passages, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where on-street parking is limited, we schedule efficiently and keep materials neatly contained. We also consider SuDS-friendly options like resin bound and gravel where permeability is important.

Costs vary by material, groundworks and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start from around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£180 per m², resin bound paths £140–£220 per m², and natural stone can range from £180–£300+ per m². Curves, steps, edging, lighting integration and drainage solutions will affect the final figure.
Most domestic paths take 1–3 days, depending on length, excavation depth and the chosen finish. A small straight gravel run can be completed quickly, while curved designs in natural stone or block paving may take longer due to cutting and detailing. Resin bound installations are often 1–2 days but need suitable weather and a properly prepared base. We’ll confirm timescales after the site survey.
In most cases, garden pathways are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or changing how surface water drains to the highway. Permeable finishes (like resin bound or gravel) and correct drainage solutions can help meet requirements. We’ll advise during the survey and, if needed, help you check any London Borough of Merton guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as sinking from inadequate base preparation, loose edging, or jointing failures (subject to normal use and care). Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included for your chosen finish and provide aftercare guidance to keep the path looking its best.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look; block paved paths for crisp patterns and easy repairs; gravel pathways for a cost-effective, permeable option; and resin bound paths for a smooth, modern finish. Designs can be straight or curved, with contrasting edging, step details and lighting integration where useful. We’ll recommend colours and textures that suit your property style and how you use the garden.
