In and around Melksham, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length. In Melksham we can price work such as finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and laying a curving path through a back garden.

Planning in Melksham
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Wiltshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
