Kerbing & Edging in Speke

Kerbing & Edging in Speke

On a street of similar houses, the edge of a drive is one of the first things anyone notices. In Speke's open-plan estate frontages, crisp edging separates the drive from the lawn and path and gives the whole house a tidier look. Edging also has a job to do: it supports block paving, keeps gravel in place and stops tarmac edges crumbling. Kerbing & edging in Speke is a good-value way to smarten a drive that is structurally sound but looks scruffy. Remember that edging inside your boundary is not the same as a dropped kerb at the road, which is handled separately. It also stops the drive creeping wider each year as lawn and soil spread over its edge.

Planning kerbing & edging in Speke

Choosing edging in Speke is a balance between looks and function. Concrete kerbs, setts and block edging all work, and tone should match the main surface. A concrete haunching behind the edge keeps it firm under wheel loads. On open frontages, a clear edge also stops lawns creeping onto paving. A dropped kerb at the carriageway is a highways matter, and Liverpool City Council is the authority to contact about it; it is separate from the driveway work. Planning rules on front hard surfaces over 5 square metres may still apply to a new drive.
