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 Ashton-under-Lyne depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Ashton-under-Lyne mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Ashton-under-Lyne include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Ashton-under-Lyne
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.
