Paths & Edging
Paths and edging are the small details that make a garden easier to use — a level route from door to gate, tidy borders that hold their line, and surfaces that don't turn to mud in a wet week.
Choosing a path surface
Gravel, paving slabs, stepping stones and resin each behave differently. Gravel drains freely and suits informal gardens; slabs give a firm, pram- and barrow-friendly route; stepping stones sit lightly within a lawn or border.
Edging that holds its line
Brick, metal, timber or stone edging keeps lawns and borders crisp and makes mowing simpler. The right choice depends on the look of the garden and how the edges will be maintained.
What shapes a proposal
Every project is different, so anything you'd receive would be written after looking at your space. These are the factors that usually shape the options:
- Route, width and level changes along the path
- Surface choice and drainage
- Edging material and corners
- Gates, steps and threshold details
