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 Luton depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Across Luton, many front drives are compact, so access, skips and parking for the crew are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Luton include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Luton
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Luton are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
