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 Inverness, 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. Inverness mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Inverness include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Inverness
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The Highlands and Islands have short laying seasons and wet, exposed weather, so materials and timing are planned well ahead. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Inverness jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
