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 Rottingdean depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Rottingdean, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Rottingdean we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Rottingdean
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. Laying days in Rottingdean are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
