Driveway edging and borders across County Durham
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.
Projects we quote in and around Darlington include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive.
Prices in County Durham
Guide prices for County Durham are based on North East rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway edging and borders: £20–£55 per linear metre.
Planning in County Durham
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
