Driveway edging and borders across Kent
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.
The edging is also a design choice. Charcoal setts frame a golden blend, while slim steel edging almost disappears against a lawn.
Projects we quote in and around Maidstone include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base.

Planning in Kent
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.
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
