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 Preston we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Preston has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
In Preston we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Preston
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
