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 Birmingham, 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. Housing in Birmingham ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
In Birmingham we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway edging and borders.

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