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 Bathgate depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Bathgate, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Bathgate include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Bathgate
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.

Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Laying days in Bathgate are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
