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 Stratford we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Stratford range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Stratford include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, 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 Stratford
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. Laying days in Stratford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
