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.
In Melton Mowbray, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Melton Mowbray mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Leicestershire, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, 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 Melton Mowbray
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. Laying days in Melton Mowbray are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
