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 Boston depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Boston mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Boston include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Boston
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 Boston are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
