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 Ashford, Kent we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Ashford, Kent have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Ashford, Kent include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, 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 Ashford, 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.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
