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.
Before quoting groundworks in Bishop Auckland we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Bishop Auckland range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bishop Auckland include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Bishop Auckland
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 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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Durham, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
