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 Thatcham depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Thatcham mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Berkshire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Thatcham
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Berkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
