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 Oadby we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Oadby, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Leicestershire, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Oadby
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 Oadby jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
