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 Felling depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Felling mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Felling include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Felling
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
