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 Ballymena, 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. Ballymena mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Ballymena 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 Ballymena
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. 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 it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Ballymena jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
