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 Acocks Green depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Acocks Green have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Acocks Green include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Acocks Green
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
