What dropped kerb applications involve
A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossover, is a lowered section of kerb and strengthened pavement that lets a car cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs consent from the highway authority (your council in England, Wales and Scotland; DfI Roads in Northern Ireland), and the work in the pavement is done by that authority or a contractor it approves.
Groundwork prices in Farnham depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Farnham mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Farnham we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.

A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as local highway authority, whether or not the driveway itself needs planning permission. A new access onto a classified road can need planning permission as well.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Farnham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
