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 Perth, 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. Perth mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Perth and Kinross, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Perth
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.

Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Perth and Kinross, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
