Driveway edging and borders across Nottinghamshire
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.
The edging is also a design choice. Charcoal setts frame a golden blend, while slim steel edging almost disappears against a lawn.
In Nottingham 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 fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive.
Prices in Nottinghamshire
For the East Midlands, where typical costs are close to the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Driveway edging and borders: £25–£60 per linear metre.
Planning in Nottinghamshire
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. Laying days in Nottingham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
