Paths, patios and edging for your garden
Paths and paved areas give a garden structure. We build them as part of our landscaping work, matched to the planting and how you use the space.
A path to the garden bench, a patio by the house, stepping stones across the lawn or a clean edge between bed and lawn: this kind of work is an integral part of landscaping. We plan it together with the planting so that paths run where people actually walk and rainwater can drain away.
Wherever possible we use permeable surfaces such as paving with wide joints, grass pavers or gravel paths. This relieves the sewer system and, depending on the town, can also make a difference to your wastewater charges.

- Patios and seating areas in the garden

Good to know
We carry out paving and path work exclusively as part of landscaping, i.e. on private properties and in outdoor grounds. Public pavements, roads and driveways used by heavy vehicles are not part of what we offer.
If you are sealing surfaces, it is worth checking your town’s bylaws: charges for rainwater are often levied on sealed surfaces that drain into the sewer.
What the cost depends on
- Size of the area
- Chosen surfacing and edging
- Subsoil, excavation and disposal
- Gradient and drainage
- Access for machines and materials
We only quote a reliable price once we have seen the site. The site visit and the initial consultation are free and non-binding.

Do you also build driveways?
We work within the scope of landscaping. Whether an area falls within it depends on its location and the loads it has to bear. Just ask – we will tell you honestly whether we can take on the job.
Which material do you recommend?
That depends on use, style and budget. We show you samples and explain the pros and cons, for example in terms of cleaning and permeability.
