Kerbing & Edging in Widnes

Kerbing & Edging in Widnes

Walk along a Widnes street of Victorian terraces and you can tell which frontages have been looked after by their edges alone. Sagging kerbs, blocks that have crept sideways and gravel scattered over the footway all point to edging that was never properly bedded. Because the town is flat and the ground has a chemical-industry past that does not behave the same from one plot to the next, solid edging matters more than people expect: it is what stops a surface wandering. Estate drives further out suit plain, clean kerbs, while older terraces can carry setts that echo the street. Kerbing and edging in Widnes is sometimes the whole job, when the middle of the drive is fine and only the borders have given up.

Planning kerbing & edging in Widnes

The edging we set is bedded on concrete haunching, with the kerb line checked by eye and by string so it reads straight from the pavement. Where your drive meets the public footway, our work stops at your boundary. Lowering the kerb itself is arranged with Halton Borough Council as a highways application, and it is worth sorting before any new drive is designed around it. Next to lawns, a flush edge keeps the mower from catching.
