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 Swansea, 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. Swansea has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Typical projects we can quote for in Swansea include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Swansea
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
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 Swansea jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
