From Tulse Hill station to the edges of Brockwell Park, homeowners want paths that look sharp and cope with daily foot traffic. We design and install pathways that improve access to front doors, side passages and garden zones without compromising kerb appeal. Expect clean lines, tidy transitions to steps and thresholds, and surfaces that stay safe underfoot in wet weather. Every layout is tailored to your plot, not pulled from a template.
The Tulse Hill area includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates, each with different widths, levels and entrance details. We regularly work on narrow side access routes and small front gardens where every centimetre matters. Period properties often suit natural stone or sympathetic block patterns, while newer homes benefit from crisp resin bound finishes. If you’re near SW2, we’ll match materials and edging to your brickwork, railings and boundary lines.
Our pathway design starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear recommendation on materials, edging and drainage. We excavate to the correct depth, build a stable sub-base, and finish with precise falls to move water away from your home. You’ll receive a written scope, tidy working practices, and a handover that explains maintenance. Local clients choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and dependable aftercare.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many properties have tight front boundaries and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary across Lambeth, so we assess levels, existing concrete and drainage routes before setting falls. We also consider access constraints around terraced homes and estate walkways. The result is pathway design & installation in London Borough of Lambeth that fits the site and performs in heavy rain.

Costs depend on material, groundworks and access. As a guide, gravel pathways often start around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£180 per m², natural stone £160–£260+ per m², and resin bound paths around £140–£220 per m². Steps, lighting integration, drainage channels and complex curves can increase the budget. We provide a detailed written quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 2–5 days from excavation to final finish, depending on size and complexity. A simple straight gravel path may be completed in 1–2 days, while block paving or natural stone with edging and drainage commonly takes 3–6 days. Resin bound installations can be quick, but base preparation is key. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, curing times and any step or lighting work.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply where you’re changing levels significantly, working near boundaries, or altering front garden surfaces that affect drainage to the public highway. Using permeable materials (gravel or resin bound on a suitable base) usually helps. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach and can check Lambeth guidance if your property has restrictions.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our pathway installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor jointing, or incorrect falls. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable maintenance (for example, keeping joints topped up where required). If there’s a problem, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right.
We offer natural stone paths (including sandstone and limestone looks), block paved paths in a wide range of colours and patterns, gravel pathways with stabilisation options, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. We can add curved designs, contrasting edging, and subtle lighting integration along borders or steps. During the design stage we’ll recommend options that suit your home’s style, budget and the amount of foot traffic.
