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.

Before quoting groundworks in Forfar we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Forfar, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.

In Forfar we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Forfar

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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

How it works

Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
