Driveway edging and borders across South Glamorgan
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.
In Cardiff we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in South Glamorgan
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Cardiff jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
