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 Brighouse, 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. Brighouse mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Brighouse include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway edging and borders.

Planning in Brighouse
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
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
