Kerbing & Edging in Aughton

Kerbing & Edging in Aughton

Edging earns its place on an Aughton driveway. A long gravel or tarmac drive has a lot of margin to hold, and a good edge keeps stones in, stops tarmac crumbling at the sides and gives lawn borders a crisp line. For village-centre frontages, a neat setts or block border can sharpen up a plain surface and echo local character, while larger detached plots might favour a simple concrete kerb or timber-free, long-lasting alternatives. Distinguish edging from dropped kerbs: the latter are applications to the highway authority for a vehicle crossing at the road, and entirely separate from what goes along the edge of your drive. A tidy edge is cheap insurance against drifting stone.

Planning kerbing & edging in Aughton

On a long Aughton drive, edging is as much about structure as looks. Without a solid edge, tarmac breaks away and gravel spreads into the lawn. A concrete haunching behind kerbs gives them strength. For the village-centre frontages, consider how the edge meets the pavement and boundary wall. If you plan to widen the drive or add a second entrance, the dropped kerb is a highways matter for West Lancashire Borough Council or the relevant authority, and widening hard surface at the front can raise the planning rule.
