Whether you’re improving access to a Victorian terrace in Plumstead or refreshing a courtyard near Royal Arsenal, a well-built path changes how your outdoor space works day to day. We design and install pathways that guide movement, reduce muddy patches and elevate kerb appeal. Expect clean lines, tidy edging and surfaces that stay stable through heavy use. We work across SE18 and nearby streets around Woolwich Town Centre.
Woolwich has a mix of older terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, so one pathway style doesn’t fit all. We regularly create compact, practical routes for small front gardens, plus more architectural finishes for contemporary developments. Where levels are awkward or entrances are narrow, we plan gentle gradients and neat transitions to steps and thresholds. Our pathway design & installation Woolwich area service is tailored to the property, not a template.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you use the space, then provide a clear design and itemised quote. Every installation includes proper sub-base preparation, edging where needed, and drainage solutions that protect surrounding planting and paving. We keep disruption down with tidy working practices and reliable scheduling. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication and a finish that stays looking good.
In Woolwich, ground conditions can vary between older made ground and newer developments, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. Access and parking can be tighter near Woolwich Ferry routes and busy SE18 streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider surface-water rules and best practice for permeable finishes, supporting compliant installs. This is pathway design & installation in Royal Borough of Greenwich with local realities built in.

Costs depend on size, ground preparation and the finish you choose. As a guide, gravel pathways often start from around £70–£120 per m², block paved paths typically sit around £110–£180 per m², and resin bound paths are commonly £120–£200 per m². Natural stone can range roughly £140–£250+ per m². Curves, steps, lighting and drainage will affect the total.
Most pathway projects take 2–5 working days, depending on length, access and the amount of excavation required. A straightforward gravel or block paved run can be quicker, while resin bound installations may need extra time for base preparation and curing. Curved designs, edging details, lighting integration and drainage channels can add a day or two. We’ll confirm timings after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, a garden path is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, working near a highway, or if the property is listed or within a conservation area. Surface-water management is also important, so permeable options like resin bound or gravel may be advisable. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and recommend the safest, compliant approach.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our pathway installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation. The warranty assumes normal use and that the surface is maintained appropriately (for example, keeping joints topped up where relevant and avoiding harsh chemicals on some finishes). Materials may also carry their own manufacturer warranties. If anything looks off, we respond quickly and put it right.
We install natural stone paths for a premium, timeless look, block paved paths for crisp patterns and easy repairs, gravel pathways for a traditional feel, and resin bound paths for a smooth, permeable finish. We can add curved layouts, contrasting edging, and discreet lighting along key routes. During design, we’ll match colours to brickwork and façades, consider slip resistance, and advise on drainage so the path performs as well as it looks.
