A well-planned stepping stone path makes everyday routes—bin day, bikes, muddy dogs—far easier without paving the whole garden. We design and install steppers that suit Morden’s family gardens, from quick links to the patio to feature routes through planting. Whether you’re near Morden station or enjoy weekend walks at Morden Hall Park, we’ll create a path that looks intentional and lasts. Expect neat edges, level stones and a finish that complements your home.
Homes across SM4 range from 1930s semis to post-war estates and newer developments, so one-size-fits-all paths rarely work. We tailor widths, spacing and materials to your layout, gates and side access. For compact gardens in Morden Park or St Helier, we can use slimmer porcelain steppers to keep things feeling open. Larger plots in Lower Morden often suit generous sandstone steppers and curved layouts that soften straight fence lines.
We start with a site visit, measure key routes, and agree a design that balances comfort, drainage and style. Sub-bases are prepared properly so stones stay level, with falls and permeable finishes where needed. We keep disruption low, protect lawns and borders, and leave the site tidy at the end of each day. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, skilled installation and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Many gardens locally have clay-heavy ground, which can move with seasonal moisture changes, so we build stable, well-compacted bases to prevent settlement. Access can be tight on 1930s semis and some estate layouts, so we plan material deliveries and waste removal to suit on-street parking. Where drainage is a concern, we favour permeable joints, gravel surrounds and sensible falls. Our work regularly covers the stepping stone paths Morden area, including Morden South and St Helier.

Costs vary with material choice, ground preparation and path length. As a guide, simple gravel-set concrete or sandstone steppers often start around £80–£140 per m², while premium porcelain or large-format natural stone installations commonly fall between £140–£220+ per m². Curves, edging, lighting, and difficult access can increase labour and waste removal. We’ll provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit in SM4.
Most garden stepping stone paths take 1–3 days from excavation to final tidy-up. A short link path can be completed in a day, while longer curved layouts with gravel surrounds, edging or lighting usually need extra time. Timescales depend on ground conditions, how much digging and sub-base is required, and whether we’re working around existing planting. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In most cases, stepping stone paths in London Borough of Merton gardens are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. The key considerations are drainage and whether you’re altering levels significantly, adding walls, or working near listed buildings or protected trees. Front garden works can have additional rules, especially around impermeable surfaces. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and can advise on suitable permeable options and best practice.
