Canary Wharf’s outdoor spaces often need smart, low-maintenance routes that look sharp year-round. We design stepping stone paths that complement glass balustrades, roof terraces and courtyard gardens around One Canada Square and Jubilee Park. From clean, linear runs to gentle curved layouts, we make every step feel deliberate and comfortable. Finishes can be softened with grass between stones or kept architectural with gravel surrounds.
Many E14 homes are modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with balconies, podium gardens and communal-style courtyards. That means paths must look premium while staying practical for daily use, pets and planters. We regularly work across the Isle of Dogs and nearby Poplar, tailoring layouts to tight footprints and contemporary materials. If your terrace gets wind exposure, we’ll specify stable bedding and joints to keep steppers true.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage falls and access routes, then provide a clear design and itemised specification. Installation includes proper sub-base preparation, accurate spacing for comfortable stride, and tidy edging so gravel and soil stay where they should. Homeowners choose us for punctual scheduling, careful protection of lifts and communal areas, and workmanship that stands up to heavy footfall. Our team is based in Norbury, around 45 minutes away, so aftercare is straightforward.
Outdoor areas in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets often sit on podium decks or built-up planters, so weight, drainage and waterproofing details matter. We plan deliveries and waste removal around controlled access, concierge rules and limited parking near Crossrail Place. Where wind funnels between towers, we use robust bedding and edge restraint to prevent movement. Every design is adapted to the property’s layout, from compact terraces to larger waterfront gardens.

Costs depend on material choice, access and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, simple gravel-set steppers often start around £120–£200 per m², while premium porcelain or large-format natural stone installations commonly fall between £220–£400 per m². Lighting, curved layouts, and upgrades to sub-base or drainage can add to the total. We’ll survey your space and provide an itemised quote.
Most installations take 1–3 days for a typical terrace or small garden path, including preparation and tidy finishing. Larger routes, complex curves, or paths with lighting and extensive sub-base work can take 3–5 days. Timescales also depend on access arrangements in apartment buildings, delivery slots, and weather. We’ll agree a schedule in advance and keep disruption to neighbours and communal areas minimal.
In many cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when they’re permeable (for example, gravel surrounds) and don’t alter levels significantly. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or works affecting drainage and communal spaces in managed developments. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on permeable build-ups, and help you check requirements with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets or your building management.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor bedding, or edging failure. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations (for example, other contractors disturbing the sub-base). We also follow manufacturer guidance for porcelain and stone products, and we’ll explain care and cleaning to keep the finish looking its best.
We install natural stone steppers, porcelain steppers, slate stepping stones and sandstone steppers, with layouts ranging from straight contemporary lines to gentle curved routes. Popular finishes include grass between stones for a softer look, or gravel surrounds for a crisp, modern feel and better drainage. We can also integrate low-glare lighting for safety and ambience. We’ll help you choose sizes, colours and spacing to suit your terrace and planting scheme.
