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 Buckie, 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. In and around Buckie, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Buckie include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Buckie
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
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Moray, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
