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.
Groundwork prices in Exmouth depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Exmouth mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Exmouth include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, 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 Exmouth
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
