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 Ebbw Vale, 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. Ebbw Vale mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Ebbw Vale include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, 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 Ebbw Vale
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Laying days in Ebbw Vale are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
