Driveway edging and borders across Oxfordshire
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.
Projects we quote in and around Oxford include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.
Prices in Oxfordshire
Guide prices for Oxfordshire are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Driveway edging and borders: £30–£65 per linear metre.
Planning in Oxfordshire
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
