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.
Groundwork prices in Esher depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Esher have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Esher we can price work such as 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. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Esher
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
