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.
Groundwork prices in Canterbury depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Canterbury have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Canterbury we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Canterbury
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Kent, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
