Driveway edging and borders across County Down

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.

The edging is also a design choice. Charcoal setts frame a golden blend, while slim steel edging almost disappears against a lawn.

Typical projects we can quote for in Bangor include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in County Down

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.

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 Down, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
