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 Hayes we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Hayes has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hayes include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Hayes
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, 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.
