A path that's too narrow forces single-file movement and feels mean. Main paths should be at least 900mm wide. Paths that curve through planting create depth, while straight paths suit formal gardens across Cheltenham and Moreton-in-Marsh. Every path should lead somewhere with purpose.
Porcelain is practical for high-use paths across Worcestershire and Gloucestershire — non-porous, low maintenance, available in anti-slip finishes. Natural stone suits character gardens in Burford, Evesham, and Stratford-upon-Avon. Riven surfaces provide inherent slip resistance; smooth surfaces need R11 or R12 rating in shaded or wet areas.
Every Plex Group path is laid on a compacted sub-base with drainage falls set by laser level. Mortar beds, edge restraints, and polymeric jointing complete the installation — ensuring the path performs as well as it looks across Oxfordshire and Warwickshire gardens.
