How much for a path?

As the title says, how much will it cost to add a pathway through a large garden? Garden is 1.6 acres in total, with the bottom end of the garden being a natural pond. Ideally the pathway needs to be natural looking (not tarmac!) and would need to be of a style that would allow a mobility scooter to drive along. I'm guessing the pathway would be about 1-200 yards in total.

  • I take it this is for a client?  If so an approximate budget would be a good starting point.  From there you could tailor the path to suit and start with an actual dimension - 1-200yds is a little on the vague side!! I would say the minimum surface would be fine crushed stone on hardcore, going of course to block paving then onward and upward!

    I don't have my little green book to hand, but think you need 1.2m min path width plus turning circle?

    As Colin suggests or use a product like COREpath, backfilled with a suitable product (opens up choice for finished surface), brick edge restrained?.

    To cost; need to look at final length, excavation, suitable edging, product/selected surface, plus your productivity.

  • Not for a client, for us personally. We're buying (will be moving in June) a property in Wiltshire (Dorset border) and as wife is disabled we are needing something suitable to allow her to use the garden. I was thinking a crushed hardcore base, then some sort of top base tamper plated down. Would this work?

    I have no specific budget, hence asking for advice on here :) 

    As for width, yes I think 1.2 metres wide is the recommended for a wheelchair/scooter.
