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.
In Altrincham, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Altrincham mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Altrincham include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Altrincham
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
