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 Yate depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Yate, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Gloucestershire, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Yate
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Gloucestershire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
