- Kerbs, blocks or setts bedded on concrete
- Concrete haunch on the back of the edge
- Tarmac finished tight to the edge

Repairs, paths and edging work rarely need planning permission. In England, a new hard surface over 5 m² in front of a house needs planning permission unless it is porous or drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property.
