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 Derry we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Drives in Derry range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Derry include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Derry
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 Derry jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
