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 Brighton we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Across Brighton, many front drives are compact, so access, skips and parking for the crew are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Brighton include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Brighton
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in East Sussex, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
