In Wimbledon, a well-designed path should look effortless while coping with daily footfall, bikes and bins. We design and install pathways that suit everything from Wimbledon Village front gardens to wider plots near Wimbledon Common. Whether you want a clean contemporary line or a softer curved layout, we build routes that feel natural and improve how you move through the space. Expect premium finishes that complement your planting and architecture.
Our local work across SW19 and SW20 often involves large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes where detailing matters. We match materials to brickwork, render and boundary walls, and we plan levels carefully to avoid awkward steps at thresholds. For period properties, we can echo traditional palettes with natural stone or sympathetic block paving. For newer builds, resin bound or sleek porcelain-style edging can deliver a sharp, modern look.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal covering materials, edging and drainage. Installation is handled by an experienced in-house team with tidy working practices and careful protection of lawns and planting. We build to last, using proper sub-bases, falls and jointing so paths stay stable and safe. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, dependable timelines and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Wimbledon gardens often have mature trees, mixed ground conditions and tight side access, especially near Wimbledon Village and South Wimbledon. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Our drainage solutions account for local surface water run-off and help you stay compliant with permeable surfacing expectations. Every pathway design & installation in London Borough of Merton is tailored to the property’s levels, boundaries and existing landscaping.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide in Wimbledon, gravel pathways often start around £80–£140 per m², block paved paths typically £120–£200 per m², and natural stone commonly £160–£300+ per m². Resin bound paths are usually £140–£240 per m². Curves, steps, lighting integration, edging and drainage can increase the overall budget.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 days, depending on length, width and the amount of excavation required. A straightforward gravel or block paved run can be quicker, while natural stone with intricate cuts or curved designs may take longer. Timescales also depend on access in SW19/SW20, skip placement, and whether we’re adding drainage channels, edging details or lighting cabling.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply around listed buildings, conservation areas, alterations to boundary walls, or changes that affect drainage to the public highway. We recommend permeable surfacing where appropriate and can advise on resin bound or gravel options. We’ll also check any London Borough of Merton requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our pathway installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or poor laying practices. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and sensible maintenance, for example keeping joints topped up where required and avoiding heavy vehicle loading on pedestrian paths unless designed for it.
We install natural stone paths (sandstone, limestone, granite), block paved paths, gravel pathways and resin bound paths, with options for curved layouts, contrasting edging and integrated lighting. We’ll help you choose based on the style of your home, slip resistance, maintenance preferences and drainage needs. For Victorian and Edwardian properties we often recommend timeless stone or traditional blocks; modern homes suit resin bound and crisp linear detailing.
