Paths

Cheltenham Surfacing has been providing hard wearing garden footpaths and pathways for homes and properties for more than 50 years. It’s where we built our reputation.

Safe reliable access

Paths and footpaths around your property are a vital source of access and a key element of the landscape in your garden. They can give an important first impression of your home – whether you’re just expecting friends and family or even potential buyers.

New pathways may need to access new buildings but still complement an existing layout. On larger properties with heavier traffic from visitors, vehicles or even horses, footpaths need to be particularly durable with regular professional maintenance.

Pathway problems

Replacing an ageing and damaged surface

Garden paths suffer from cracks and accidental damage with extreme cold or heat making issues worse such as poor drainage. We can resurface the area or start from scratch to enhance your home and garden.

Layout changes and access

Planning a new garden design, an extension or other major building work that changes the layout of paths and pathways at your home? We can advise on design, material choices and fit in seamlessly with the other services working on your home.
