Driveway edging and borders across Somerset
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.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bath include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive.

Planning in Somerset
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 West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Laying days in Bath are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
