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 Maidstone we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Maidstone, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Maidstone include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Maidstone
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.
How it works
