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 Great Sankey, 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. Homes in Great Sankey range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Cheshire, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Great Sankey
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
