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 Market Harborough depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Market Harborough, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Market Harborough include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Market Harborough
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Market Harborough jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
