From Epsom Clock Tower to the greener edges near Horton Country Park, homeowners want garden routes that feel practical yet refined. Our stepping stone paths create clear, comfortable walkways across lawns, gravel beds and planting areas without dominating the space. We design each layout around how you actually use the garden—bins, side access, patios and sheds included. The result is a path that looks intentional, not improvised.
Epsom and Ewell Borough has a mix of large detached houses, period properties and executive homes, often with generous front drives and landscaped rear gardens. In areas such as Ewell and Epsom Downs, we regularly tie new steppers into existing patios, lawns and borders so everything reads as one scheme. We also work with sloping plots and long side returns where a straight run can look harsh. Curved layouts and well-spaced steppers make movement feel natural and keep the garden’s proportions balanced.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage and the most comfortable stepping distances. Next, we agree the material, edging approach and whether you’d like grass between stones, gravel surrounds, or discreet lighting. Installation is carried out with a stable sub-base and careful bedding so stones sit flat and don’t rock underfoot. Every project is finished tidy, with clear aftercare advice and a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
Across KT17, KT18 and KT19 we often encounter mixed ground conditions, from compacted clay to made-up areas around extensions. We adjust excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage details so steppers stay level through wet winters and dry spells. Access and parking can vary near the Ashley Centre and older streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. If your property sits on a slope, we’ll refine levels to keep each step comfortable and safe.

Costs vary with material, ground preparation and the number of steppers. As a guide, simple gravel-set stepping stones often start around £90–£140 per m², while premium natural stone or porcelain installations with a proper sub-base are commonly £140–£220+ per m². Curves, lighting, and complex level changes can increase the budget. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most garden stepping stone paths are completed in 1–3 days, depending on length, access and whether we’re working through lawn, gravel or planting beds. Larger schemes, curved layouts, or paths that require significant excavation and levelling can take 3–5 days. If you’re adding lighting, allow extra time for cabling and testing. Weather and ground conditions can also affect the schedule.
In most cases, stepping stone paths within a rear garden are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering levels significantly or changing front garden surfacing and drainage. We’ll ask the right questions at survey stage and can advise if you should check with Epsom and Ewell Borough Council before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our stepping stone path installations, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation or poor bedding. It’s designed to give you confidence that the path will remain stable and safe under normal garden use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural stone colour variation. We also explain maintenance to help keep joints and surrounds looking sharp.
We offer natural stone steppers, porcelain steppers, slate stepping stones and sandstone steppers, with finishes chosen to suit your patio and planting style. Popular designs include curved layouts, grass between stones for a softer look, or gravel surrounds for crisp definition and easier upkeep. We can also integrate subtle lighting along key routes to doors, bins or sheds. We’ll bring samples and recommend sizes and spacing for comfortable walking.
