Kerbing & Edging in Prescot

Kerbing & Edging in Prescot

Edging is a detail that carries real weight in a place like Prescot, where the character of a frontage depends on the finishing touches. On a traditional brick house in the historic core, a sett or stone-style edge looks right, while a plain concrete kerb suits the modern estates. Good edging does a practical job too: it holds a block paved or tarmac surface in place, keeps gravel from straying and gives a lawn or border a clean line. Kerbing and edging in Prescot is often done alongside a resurface, but it can be worth doing alone where the main surface is sound and only the edges have gone ragged. A dropped kerb at the road is separate and handled through the council, not through the driveway work.

Planning kerbing & edging in Prescot

Solid concrete haunching behind kerbs stops them leaning over time. For Prescot frontages in the conservation area, material choice is worth discussing with Knowsley Council. The council is also the authority for any dropped kerb, which is a highways matter with its own application. Edges against lawns can be set flush to allow mowing. Matching the edging style to the house, setts for older brick and simple kerbs for newer estates, keeps the frontage coherent.
