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.
Groundwork prices in Oban depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Oban are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Oban we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Oban
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.

Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Laying days in Oban are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
