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 Gerrards Cross, 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. In and around Gerrards Cross, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Gerrards Cross we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Gerrards Cross
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 Buckinghamshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
