Driveway edging and borders across Northamptonshire
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.
An unrestrained resin edge crumbles over time, especially where cars turn. A proper edging course is bedded and haunched in concrete so it cannot move.
In Northampton we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.
Prices in Northamptonshire
Guide prices for Northamptonshire are based on East Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway edging and borders: £25–£60 per linear metre.
Planning in Northamptonshire
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.
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Northampton jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
