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 Gloucester we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Gloucester, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Typical projects we can quote for in Gloucester include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Gloucester
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
