We love Victorian tiled pathways!
They are a beautiful way to add classic style and elegance to any garden, and these traditional pathways reflect the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the Victorian era. What better way to welcome someone into your home?
Geometric floor tiles are part of Britain’s heritage and were originally used to ornament medieval churches, monasteries, and the houses of the aristocracy. Their popularity was enhanced in the 1830s when the young Queen Victoria came to the throne, and they soon became one of the hallmarks of the Romantic movement
Nostalgia for Victorian elegance has led to geometric tiled pathways becoming more and more popular, especially for period properties
One of the standout features of Victorian pathways is their intricate design. This attention to detail not only looks amazing but also adds character and personality to your outdoor space.
Greenscape Gardens has been installing Victorian tiled pathways for over 15 years. We are experts when it comes to the design and installation of your Victorian Pathway.
Matching the correct materials and style to the front of a period property is almost a moral obligation to the history of the house. Many Victorian houses consisted of tiled pathways and hallways with a design that complemented the detailing of period properties. What better way to enter a house than with a beautiful, intricately designed, tiled pathway that keeps the tradition of the property?
Victorian pathways are also very practical. Their sturdy construction makes them ideal for front entrances and garden paths, leading visitors through flower beds, lawns, or towards garden features like fountains and seating areas. Plus, their slightly raised edges often help with drainage, keeping your garden paths safe and usable through the seasons.
A concrete base is normally installed, and then the tiles are laid directly onto the base with exterior adhesive. The design is then followed, finishing with the borders. We utilise several suppliers that can either supply individual tiles or mosaic tile mats, which expedite the installation process.
For an authentic finishing detail, rope-top edging is a common addition that complements the design. Finally, the desired grouting is applied to the joints to finish the pathway.
If you’re looking to bring a bit of heritage and timeless beauty to your garden, installing a Victorian-style pathway is a fantastic choice. Whether you’re renovating an old entrance or adding classic touches to a modern space, these pathways provide a charming link to the past while enhancing your garden’s overall look.
From simple designs to geometric masterpieces, Greenscape Gardens can assist with every aspect of a Victorian pathway or step and are experts in the field.
