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 Belfast depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Housing in Belfast ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Projects we quote in and around Belfast include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, 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 Belfast
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Antrim, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
