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 Gateshead, 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. Drives in Gateshead range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Tyne and Wear, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Gateshead
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Gateshead jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Get a guide price online, book a free survey, receive an itemised written quote, then agree a date. Most drives over a ready base are laid in a day.
