A well-set stepping stone path makes moving through the garden effortless, even after rain. We install steppers that sit level, drain properly and feel solid underfoot, whether you want a straight run or a gentle curve. Homeowners around Banstead High Street and SM7 often ask for paths that connect patios to lawns without turning the garden into a full paved walkway. We can finish with grass between stones or a clean gravel surround depending on the look you prefer.
Banstead’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes calls for paths that feel considered rather than “off the shelf”. In Nork and Burgh Heath we regularly build routes that work with wider plots, side access and family use. For contemporary gardens, porcelain steppers deliver sharp lines and easy maintenance; for traditional settings near Banstead Downs, sandstone or slate can blend beautifully. We tailor spacing, stone size and edging so the path suits your scale of garden.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a simple layout plan, then recommend the right base build-up for stability and drainage. Every stepping stone is set to consistent heights with safe, comfortable stride lengths, and we keep disruption low with tidy working and clear daily updates. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.

Costs vary with material, base depth and the overall run. As a guide, simple concrete or sandstone steppers on a prepared base typically start around £120–£200 per m², while premium porcelain or large-format natural stone can be £200–£350+ per m². Curves, lighting, edging and more excavation (common in heavier soils) can increase the total. We provide a clear itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on length, access and ground conditions. A short garden link path with gravel surrounds can often be completed in a day once materials arrive. Longer curved layouts, deeper base work, or integrating lighting and drainage may take 3–5 days. Weather can affect curing and compaction, and we’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting so you know what to expect.
In most cases, a garden stepping stone path is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. The main considerations are drainage and whether you’re changing levels significantly or working near boundaries. If the path forms part of a larger hard landscaping scheme, we’ll check that surface water can soak away within your garden and advise on any SuDS-friendly options. If your property is listed or has restrictions, we’ll help you confirm requirements.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our stepping stone path installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, rocking steppers, and joint or edging failures linked to installation. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, porcelain). The warranty assumes normal domestic use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain what care is recommended for your chosen finish.
We offer natural stone steppers (including sandstone), slate stepping stones, and sleek porcelain steppers for a contemporary look.

We’ll help you choose sizes and spacing that suit your stride and garden scale, and we can add discreet lighting to highlight edges and improve night-time safety.
