A well-planned stepping stone path makes moving through your garden easier, cleaner and far more attractive. In Raynes Park (SW20), we create routes that suit real life—bins, bikes and school runs—while still looking premium. Whether you want a simple run from the patio to the lawn or a feature path towards Cannon Hill Common-facing gardens, we’ll design it to sit naturally in the space. We also work around access and timing near Raynes Park station where parking and deliveries need planning.
Raynes Park is packed with family homes, from 1930s semis to Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, each with different levels, boundaries and garden proportions. We regularly install stepping stone paths Raynes Park area homeowners request for side returns, narrow passages and long rear gardens. Older properties often need careful setting-out to avoid drains, mature roots and uneven ground. We tailor the layout so the path feels comfortable to walk, even with kids and pets.
We start with a site visit, measure up, and propose a layout with material samples and clear options for edging, gravel surrounds or grass between stones. Ground preparation is done properly—stable sub-base, accurate levels and consistent spacing—so stones don’t rock or sink. You’ll get a tidy, respectful install with reliable scheduling and straightforward communication. Local homeowners choose us for stepping stone paths in London Borough of Merton because the finish lasts and the details are handled.
Gardens across the London Borough of Merton often have compact side access, shared boundaries and mixed ground made up of clay and made-ground from older landscaping. We adapt sub-base depth and drainage details to keep steppers firm through wet winters. Where parking is tight around SW20 streets, we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also set paths to suit typical 1930s garden levels and patio thresholds.

Costs depend on materials, ground prep and the length/shape of the route. As a guide, a simple run of installed steppers in gravel may start around £900–£1,800. Premium natural stone or porcelain steppers with a deeper sub-base, curves, and lighting commonly falls in the £2,000–£4,500 range. We’ll confirm after a site visit, including access and waste removal.
Most stepping stone paths are completed in 1–3 days, depending on length, curves and ground conditions. A straightforward straight run with gravel surrounds can often be done in a day. If we’re regrading, improving drainage, installing lighting, or working around existing patios and planting, allow 2–4 days. Weather, access for materials, and curing time for bedding layers can also affect scheduling.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and won’t require planning permission. The main considerations are drainage and whether any works affect a listed building, a conservation area, or protected trees. If the path connects to a front garden area, we’ll also consider permeable surfacing requirements. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check any London Borough of Merton guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including settlement issues caused by inadequate base preparation and movement that leads to rocking or uneven steppers. It also covers jointing and edging details we install as part of the system. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, tree root heave, or extreme events, but we’ll always advise on prevention and maintenance.
We offer natural stone steppers, porcelain steppers, slate stepping stones and sandstone steppers, sized and spaced for comfortable walking. Popular designs include curved layouts through lawns, grass between stones for a softer look, or gravel surrounds for low maintenance and crisp lines. We can also add subtle lighting along the route for safety. We’ll help you choose based on style, slip resistance, maintenance and budget.
