Pathways aren’t just practical they play a big role in your home’s appearance, safety, and accessibility. A clean, well-maintained path shows attention to detail and care, while a neglected one can leave a poor first impression and pose serious safety risks.

 

Common Pathway Issues to Watch for

• Overgrown Vegetation
  Trees, hedges, and plants can easily spread into walkways if not trimmed regularly. Low branches, ivy, or thick shrubs can block visibility and restrict movement—especially in narrow areas.

• Fallen Leaves & Debris
  In autumn or after storms, leaves, twigs, and debris can quickly build up. Wet leaves in particular are slippery, making paths hazardous if not cleared promptly.

• Snow & Ice
  Winter conditions can make walkways extremely slippery. Without proper snow clearance and gritting, these surfaces pose a high risk of falls.

• Loose Gravel & Uneven Surfaces
  Cracked paving or scattered gravel can cause trips or further surface damage if not dealt with quickly.

• Cluttered Pathways
  Bins, planters, and outdoor furniture left too close to walkways can block access and create obstacles. Keeping these items tidy ensures safe, clear routes.

​

Why Regular Maintenance Is Important

• ✅ Reduces risk of accidents for residents and visitors

• ✅ Ensures accessibility for everyone, including those with mobility aids

• ✅ Improves appearance, boosting your home’s kerb appeal

• ✅ Extends the life of your pathway and prevents costly repairs

​

Top Tips for Safe, Clear Pathways All Year Round

• Trim Back Plants: Keep trees, hedges, and shrubs neatly pruned to stop overgrowth.

• Clear Debris Often: Use leaf blowers or sweepers in autumn and after storms.

• Prepare for Winter: Have a gritting plan in place to manage snow and ice.

• Inspect Regularly: Check for cracks or loose slabs and fix them early.

• Keep Routes Uncluttered: Position bins and planters away from walking areas.
