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 Newcastle upon Tyne depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Housing in Newcastle upon Tyne ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Typical projects we can quote for in Newcastle upon Tyne include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Newcastle upon Tyne
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. Laying days in Newcastle upon Tyne are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
