A well-built path changes how you use your outdoor space—guiding guests, keeping shoes clean and making the garden feel finished. We design and install pathways across SW18, with projects near Southfields tube station and around Wimbledon Park. Whether you want a crisp route to the front door or a winding garden walk, we tailor the layout to your home and planting. Every build includes proper sub-bases, neat edging and considered falls for drainage.
Southfields homes often have compact front gardens and side returns, so paths need to be practical without looking cramped. We regularly work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, where levels, thresholds and existing brickwork influence the final design. In streets leading towards Earlsfield and Putney, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. The result is a pathway that suits the period character while meeting modern durability expectations.
Our pathway design & installation Southfields area service starts with a site visit, measurements and material samples, then a clear written scope. We excavate to the right depth, install a stable sub-base, and finish with precise cuts, jointing and edging. Where needed, we integrate drainage solutions and low-glare lighting to improve safety after dark. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, surface water rules and practical drainage matter, especially for front gardens. We design falls and, where appropriate, use permeable options such as resin bound or gravel to help manage runoff. Southfields streets can have limited parking and narrow access, so we schedule loading and materials to minimise disruption. We also match finishes to local brickwork and period details common in SW18 properties.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide in Southfields, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically fall between £120–£200 per m², and resin bound paths are usually £140–£220 per m². Natural stone can range from £160–£300+ per m² depending on the stone and cutting. Steps, lighting, edging and drainage can add to the total.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days from excavation to finish, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Larger or more detailed projects—curved designs, multiple levels, steps, or lighting integration—often take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on the amount of excavation, the sub-base depth required, and curing times for bedding and jointing. We provide a clear programme before work starts and keep you updated day by day.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. The main consideration is usually drainage—front garden surfaces may need to be permeable or drain to a suitable area rather than the public sewer. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or the work changes levels near boundaries, extra rules can apply. We’ll advise on compliant materials and, if needed, help you check Wandsworth requirements.
Yes. We include a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor laying, or edging failure. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations or extreme events outside our control. We also use reputable manufacturers’ materials where possible, so you may benefit from additional product warranties depending on the chosen finish.
We offer natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp patterns and easy repairs, gravel pathways for a softer, permeable finish, and resin bound paths for a smooth, weed-resistant surface. Design options include straight or curved layouts, contrasting edging, step details, and lighting integration along borders or risers. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and recommend colours that suit your brickwork and planting.
