Kerbing & Edging in Skelmersdale

Kerbing & Edging in Skelmersdale

Kerbing and edging in Skelmersdale is the detail that separates a tidy drive from a tired one. Original kerbs and borders from the new-town era may be cracked, leaning or missing, which lets block drift, tarmac crumble and soil wash across the surface. Renewing the edge gives the drive a clear line, helps retain the surface and sharpens the look of the whole frontage. Contrasting block borders, simple concrete kerbs and neat setts are all straightforward options on flat estate plots. A dropped kerb at the road is separate: it is a highways matter, not part of the edging, and if you are widening or adding an entrance it should be raised early.

Planning kerbing & edging in Skelmersdale

In Skelmersdale, a lot of drives were laid with narrow or minimal edging, so renewing it can make a big difference to durability. Edging needs a proper concrete bed and haunching, and should be set to the right level so water flows off the drive correctly. If you want to widen the frontage for two cars, check planning rules for larger hard surfaces and apply for the dropped kerb. West Lancashire Borough Council is the authority for both.
