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 Finchley we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Finchley have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Finchley include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Finchley
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
