A well-spaced stepping stone path makes everyday routes feel intentional—whether it’s from patio to lawn, or down to a side gate. In Sevenoaks, we design paths that suit generous plots and mature planting, from Riverhead gardens to homes near Knole House. Expect crisp lines, stable footing and a finish that complements your property. We can weave in curved layouts, grass between stones or gravel surrounds to match the look you want.
Many properties across TN13, TN14 and TN15 have wider frontages, long side returns and established borders that benefit from clear, low-maintenance routes. We regularly work on large detached houses, period properties and executive homes where the path must feel premium, not pieced together. Our steppers are set to comfortable walking stride and aligned to key sightlines from doors and patios. The result is a path that looks calm and considered all year round.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and footfall, then propose layouts and material samples. Installation includes proper sub-base preparation, accurate bedding and careful joint detailing for long-term stability. We keep the site tidy, protect lawns and planting, and communicate timings clearly from day one. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Sevenoaks District gardens often combine clay-heavy soils with sloping lawns, so we build stable sub-bases and manage levels to prevent rocking or sinking. Access can be tight on some residential roads near Sevenoaks High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where properties have long runs from driveway to rear garden, we create clear routes that protect planting and reduce muddy wear. Our approach is tailored to the plot, not a one-size layout.

Costs vary by stone choice, ground preparation and total length. As a guide, simple gravel-set steppers often start around £120–£200 per m², while premium porcelain or larger natural stone installations with deeper sub-base and edging are commonly £200–£350+ per m². Curves, lighting, drainage work and difficult access can increase the budget. We provide a clear, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most stepping stone paths take 1–3 days to install, depending on length, excavation depth and whether we’re setting stones into gravel, lawn or a mortar bed. Larger gardens, curved layouts, added edging or integrated lighting can extend the programme to 3–5 days. Weather and ground conditions also affect timings, especially if the soil is wet and needs extra stabilisation. We confirm a schedule before work begins.
In most cases, garden paths are permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if the work affects drainage to the public highway. If you’re near sensitive locations or have specific restrictions, we’ll advise on compliant materials and permeable options. We can also help you check any relevant Sevenoaks District Council guidance before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor bedding or incorrect jointing. It’s designed to give you confidence that the path will remain stable and safe under normal domestic use. Natural materials can weather over time, which is expected, but we’ll advise on care and cleaning to keep the finish looking its best. Warranty terms are supplied in writing.
We offer natural stone steppers, porcelain steppers, slate stepping stones and sandstone steppers in a range of sizes and tones. Popular designs include curved layouts through planting, grass between stones for a softer look, or gravel surrounds for crisp definition and drainage. We can also add subtle lighting to highlight edges and improve safety after dark. We’ll bring samples and recommend finishes that suit your house style and garden palette.
