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 Aldershot we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Aldershot range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Hampshire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Aldershot
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Aldershot jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
