A well-planned garden path improves kerb appeal and makes everyday access easier, especially in SW20 where front gardens and side returns are often tight. We design and install pathways that guide you cleanly from gate to door, patio to lawn, or shed to seating area. Whether you’re near Raynes Park station or walking distance to Cannon Hill Common, we tailor layouts to suit how you use the space. Expect crisp lines, tidy edges and finishes that complement your home.
Raynes Park features plenty of 1930s semis alongside Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, each with different levels, thresholds and garden proportions. We match materials and detailing to period character—think sympathetic stone tones, neat block patterns, or contemporary resin for a cleaner look. Side access routes, bin storage and pram-friendly widths are common requirements in family homes. For clients across Wimbledon, New Malden and Motspur Park, we also consider how paths connect to patios, lawns and planting beds.
Our pathway design starts with a site visit, levels check and advice on materials, edging and drainage. We then prepare a clear specification, handle excavation and sub-base build-up properly, and finish with precise laying and jointing. Lighting integration can be planned from day one, so cables and fittings are protected and discreet. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Merton, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and gardens that fall away from the house, so levels and drainage are planned carefully. Access can be narrow on some streets, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also design with local property styles in mind—clean geometry for 1930s semis and more traditional detailing for period terraces. If you need a permeable finish, we can recommend resin bound or gravel options that suit typical Merton requirements.

Costs vary by material, groundworks and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths around £110–£180 per m², and natural stone typically £140–£250+ per m². Resin bound paths are commonly £120–£200 per m² depending on base preparation. Curves, steps, edging, drainage channels and lighting will affect the final budget.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, depending on length, material and complexity. A simple straight gravel path can be quicker, while natural stone or block paving with curved designs, steps, drainage and lighting integration can extend the programme to a week or more. Weather, drying times for concrete bases, and restricted access for machinery in SW20 gardens can also influence timescales.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the public highway, or working within a conservation area or on a listed building. Permeable surfacing is often recommended to manage surface water. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check any relevant London Borough of Merton guidance before work begins.
Yes. Our pathway installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, or failures linked to our installation methods. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, depending on the product chosen. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage routes aren’t blocked by later alterations. We’ll provide care guidance for cleaning, weed prevention and maintaining joints.
We install natural stone paths, block paved paths, gravel pathways and resin bound paths, with options for straight or curved designs. Popular upgrades include contrasting edging, step detailing, and discreet lighting integration along borders or at thresholds. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your property style—whether a 1930s semi or a Victorian terrace—and recommend the best surface for slip resistance, permeability and day-to-day maintenance.
