Driveway edge restraint
Edge restraint holds the driveway surface in place. Block paving and gravel need a firm edge. We install kerbs, edging or restraint as part of the groundworks so the surface does not spread or sink at the edges.
Most teams review driveway edge restraint when live project risk needs turning into a clear technical decision with practical next steps.
