The Vision

The client’s garden was a beautiful space, but the existing path was uneven, cracked, and became slippery when wet. It disconnected the patio from the lower garden area, making it difficult to access the lawn during the wetter months. The goal was to create a durable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing walkway that would invite exploration of the entire garden.

Construction Process

We began by excavating the old path and preparing a solid sub-base to ensure longevity and prevent future sinking or cracking. Proper drainage was a priority, so we installed a permeable membrane and a gravel soakaway system along the edges.

Material Selection

  • Natural Sandstone: We selected Indian Sandstone in ‘Raj Green’ to complement the existing garden walling and planting scheme.
  • Brick Edging: A soldier course of reclaimed red bricks was used to frame the path, adding a touch of traditional character.
  • Jointing Compound: A resin-bound jointing compound was used to prevent weed growth while allowing for thermal expansion.

The Outcome

The new path winds elegantly through the garden, connecting the different zones with a solid, reliable surface. The natural stone changes color beautifully in the rain and sun, adding texture and interest to the landscape. The client can now enjoy their garden year-round without worrying about muddy boots or slip hazards.
