What Is VertEdge?
FAKE GRASS INSTALLATIONS
You use carpet gripper to get a perfect finish to your carpet. VertEdge® does the same for your artificial lawn.
Our revolutionary edging system is the only product on the market to 100% securely adhere the perimeter finish of artificial lawn using VertEdge® adhesive.
Think of it as carpet gripper for your artificial lawn.
VertEdge® is a game-changer for artificial grass installation.
Made in Britain, our fully recyclable solution works with all artificial grass surfaces.
Nails only provide 10% fixing to the grass. VertEdge® gives a clinical 100% secure adhered perimeter finish, so the edges won’t lift.
What Is Making VertEdge Stand Out?
FAKE GRASS INSTALLATIONS
Current artificial lawn perimeter fixing methods are generally improvised using standard off the shelf building materials – i.e. wood, cement, plastic, nails, screws – with each contractor claiming their method is ‘the way to go’ and better than others. This creates confusion for the paying client/customer as there is no widely recognised industry standard for contractors to adhere to.
VertEdge addresses this issue with a purpose-designed product that provides consistency and uniform across the industry, which in turn would vastly improve the safety and quality of artificial grass installations for the end user. We believe that VertEdge is the solution to this recognised problem, and will become the industry standard.

The appearance of your home is important. Kerb appeal gives the first impression of your house. It makes your house more sellable. A well designed front garden with parking adds value to your home. We try and maximise parking also adding planting to make the front of your house less of a carpark rather than a front garden. The design is the key to realizing the gardens potential.
What type of surface should you go for? It all comes down to personal choice.

Resin bound driveways are our Premium range of driveways, the finished surface is an extremely hardwearing and very attractive solution for your Driveway.
The system involves choosing a dried aggregate of your colour choice and mixing with a resin until the aggregate is completely encapsulated with the resin. The finished surface is smooth and extremely hard wearing and looks fantastic. The final surface is permeable and suitable for SUDS (sustainable drainage systems). A permeable base is required and the resin mix is laid directly on top.

Block Paving – block paving is the most popular paving in the UK and is perfect or creating a quality looking driveway. There are many types of block paving on the market from classic cobbles such as the Marshalls Tegula to a modern clean line granite effect ‘Marshalls Argent. Marshalls ‘Drivesys Cobbletech’ and split stone have been designed to look like natural stone.
Permeable block paving is a perfect solution for areas where Sustainable drainage systems are required.
Block paving is a flexible paving system that is laid on a compacted subbase and a sand bed. Kerb edging and border strengthen the drive and also add height and restraint to flower beds and borders.
Block paving needs to be maintained to prevent airbourne weeds from geminating in the joints. A stiff brush every month and the application of a path clear weed killer will keep the driveway looking clean and fresh. The majority of block pavers are slip resistant and are suitable to slopes.

Setts (granite and sandstone etc.) are also in our Premium Range. Sandstone setts create fantastic looking natural stone driveways. A sandstone driveway is an extremely hardwearing and aesthetically pleasing. Sandstone setts / granite
setts are natural stone that have been cut or split into cobble size.
They are laid on a full mortar bed on a reinforced concrete base and then hand pointed to create the ultimate looking paving. Every stone is unique and is perfect for use in designer driveways. Installing a sandstone sett driveway is very labour intensive
and is limited to only the very best skilled installers. The cost of a sandstone driveway is around twice the price of a block paved driveway and the results below show why.

Stabilised gravel looks like a normal gravel driveway but with an extremely tough TURNAgrid stabilisation system underneath which prevents gravel from going into the road and all over the rest of the garden. The gravel is firm and needs little maintenance.
The grid is laid on a subbase and then filled by gravel. Stabilised gravel provides an excellent low maintenance SUDS compliant surface suitable for drives and paths. Stabilised gravel is extremely tough and can withstand heavy vehicles and is wheel chair friendly.

The highway code states.
Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can.
Some planning authorises will not grant planning permission on certain properties if you are unable to drive in and drive out of your driveway without reversing on to a main road. A car Turntable is the perfect solution, simply drive in then turnabout and then drive out. Simple.
Turnabout turntables have been designed to blend into your driveway. They are the ultimate parking solution.

The simple answer is no, as long as…
– If your drive slopes towards the road a channel needs to take the water and discharge it into a soak away (see below)
– If the drive slopes towards the house a channel takes the water to a soak away (see below)
– Resin bound gravel or Permeable paving does not need planning either
Our designer will be able to discuss what is required during the free design consultation.
‘New or replacement driveways or paving over 5m2 located between the front of a house and the street – unless it is permeable paving or drains onto a permeable area in the garden will need planning permission.
No Planning Permissions is required if.
Permeable paving is used or when using standard paving rainwater is directed onto a permeable area in the garden such as a soak away, just like the driveways below. Conventional paving simply slopes so that water runs off into the garden and is stored temporarily or is channelled to a soak away. Then the water can soak into the ground or evaporate just like the driveways below.
We are fully trained and recommended by Marshalls to install their permeable paving products.
Permeable paving is designed to allow rainwater to filter through gaps between the blocks into a permeable sub-base below with enough space to store water for a short time.
Planning permission will take upto 8 weeks and cost £200 and you will not necessarily be permitted.
