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 Harpenden we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Harpenden range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Harpenden include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Harpenden
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Harpenden are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
