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 Musselburgh we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Musselburgh are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Musselburgh we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Musselburgh
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Musselburgh jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
