Driveway edging and borders across the Highlands and Islands
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.
An unrestrained resin edge crumbles over time, especially where cars turn. A proper edging course is bedded and haunched in concrete so it cannot move.
Projects we quote in and around Inverness include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base.

Planning in the Highlands and Islands
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
The Highlands and Islands have short laying seasons and wet, exposed weather, so materials and timing are planned well ahead. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
