What does an edging or kerb job involve?
The edge can be a kerb, a row of blocks laid as a soldier course, or a block on its side, but in every case it should be bedded and haunched in concrete. We also re-set failed edging on older drives, which often stops further spreading without re-laying the whole area.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

Rules for front drives in Clwyd
In Wales, any new or replacement hard surface at the front of a house should be permeable or drain to a permeable area within the property to avoid needing planning permission. Unlike England, there is no 5 m² allowance for new paving; only repairs of up to 5 m² of existing surface are exempt.
Since January 2019, construction work covering 100 m² or more with drainage implications, including drives and patios, needs approval from the local SuDS Approving Body (SAB) before work starts, even where planning permission is not needed.
A dropped kerb needs your council's approval as highway authority, and a new access onto a classified road needs planning permission.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.

Edging & kerbs in Clwyd: questions
Who approves an edging or kerb job in Clwyd?
For a dropped kerb, your council as highway authority. For drainage and covers on private land, no approval is usually needed, but connections to public sewers need the water company's consent.
Do you work in Wrexham, Buckley and Deeside?
Yes. We cover all of Clwyd, including Wrexham, Buckley and Deeside.
Can this be done at the same time as a new drive in Clwyd?
Yes, and it usually should be, so the levels match and the paving is only disturbed once.
