What driveway edging and borders involve
Driveway edging is the restraint fixed around a resin surface, such as granite setts, block, steel or timber, that holds the edge in place, gives a clean line against lawns and borders, and frames the colour of the resin.
In Arbroath, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Around Arbroath, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Arbroath include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Arbroath
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
