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 Elgin depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Elgin range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Elgin 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 Elgin
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. Laying days in Elgin are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
