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 Welling depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Welling have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Welling include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Welling
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.
