From busy family entrances near Tooting Broadway station to quieter streets by Tooting Bec Common, a well-built path makes daily access easier and safer. Fine Landscaping designs and installs pathways that suit SW17 gardens, whether you want a formal approach to the front door or a practical route to the shed. Choose clean lines or soft curves to work around planting and bay windows. Every build is finished to look sharp and perform in wet weather.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have narrow side access and compact front gardens. We design paths that maximise usable space, keep bins and bikes moving smoothly, and complement period brickwork and railings. In Tooting Bec and Furzedown, we regularly match paving tones to existing steps, walls and tiles. If you’re updating a tired concrete run, we can transform it into a feature that adds kerb appeal.
Our pathway design & installation Tooting area service starts with a site visit, levels check and material samples. We excavate properly, build a stable sub-base, and include edging and drainage solutions to prevent puddling and movement. Lighting integration can be added for safer evening access and a more premium finish. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, clear schedules, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We’re used to the access challenges around Tooting Broadway and Tooting Graveney, where skips, parking and narrow passages affect logistics. Ground levels and older garden walls can require careful setting-out and sympathetic edging details. We design falls and drainage to cope with heavy rain and prevent water tracking towards door thresholds. Where needed, we help you align finishes with London Borough of Wandsworth expectations on permeable surfacing.

Costs vary by material, excavation depth and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths £120–£200 per m², natural stone £160–£280+ per m², and resin bound £140–£240 per m². Edging, steps, lighting integration and drainage can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site survey.
Most garden paths take 2–5 days, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward gravel or block paved run can be completed quickly, while natural stone, curved designs, steps and lighting usually extend the programme. Timescales also depend on excavation, waste removal, drying/curing time, and access for materials in tighter Victorian terraces. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, garden pathways are permitted development, especially when they’re permeable or drain to a suitable area within your property. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a highway boundary, or your home is in a conservation area or a listed building. We’ll advise on compliant drainage and surfacing and can help you check London Borough of Wandsworth guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base construction, loose edging, or poor laying that leads to movement. It’s designed to give you confidence that the path will stay level, stable and safe. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or extreme events outside our control, and manufacturer guarantees may also apply to certain products.
We offer natural stone paths (sandstone, limestone and granite), block paved paths in a range of colours, traditional gravel pathways, and smooth resin bound paths for a contemporary finish. Design options include curved layouts, contrasting borders, soldier-course edging, and integrated lighting for steps and entrances. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, maintenance preferences, slip resistance and drainage needs, then provide samples to finalise the look.
