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.
In Barnstaple, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Many homes in Barnstaple have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Barnstaple include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Barnstaple
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Barnstaple jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
