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 Burnham-on-Sea, 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. In and around Burnham-on-Sea, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Somerset, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Burnham-on-Sea
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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 Burnham-on-Sea are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
