Those grand Victorian villas dotting Banstead's tree-lined streets deserve pathways that echo their heritage. Whether your property dates from the 1880s or was built last year, the right pathway transforms an ordinary garden into something extraordinary.

Victorian pathway design isn't just about laying tiles in geometric patterns. Throughout SM7, gardens tell stories through their paths - from the sweeping curves leading to original coach houses to the intricate tessellation gracing Edwardian terraces. Local clay soil presents unique challenges here, particularly during our wet winters when proper foundation work becomes crucial for longevity.
Authentic Victorian pathways require specific materials and techniques rarely found in modern landscaping. Original reclaimed tiles, when available, bring genuine character but need careful restoration. Modern reproductions offer durability whilst maintaining period aesthetics. Drainage channels hidden beneath decorative edging prevent the pooling issues common to Banstead's gentle slopes, especially near the Downs where natural water flow affects many properties.
Twenty years working with Banstead's varied topography has taught us which patterns suit different garden aspects. From Nork's compact Victorian cottages to the generous plots near Epsom Downs, each installation reflects both historical accuracy and practical modern needs.
