the council have recently re-tarmac'd our pavements and replaced all of the kerb stones..
they've edged all of the grassy areas with edging slabs, but my driveway never had any kind of edging to it.
so they just sort of ran the tarmac up to the gravel on my drive..
as you can imagine this means that the gravel doesn't stay on my drive very well so I want to put some edging slabs across the drive sticking up abour half an inch..

I can dig out my side and "square off" their tarmac and put the slabs tight up against it.
I have a couple of bags of "postcrete" left over from re-fixing some fence posts, will this be ok to hold the slabs in place?

dig out a 4 inch wide trench, put a couple of inches in the bottom to bring the slabs level, then backfill behind the slabs with the remainder?
water the stuff and it sets..

Sounds ok.
Public footpaths should be delineated with a demarcation edging. This edging usually occurs 1.8m in fro the road kerb.

If you intend installing the demarcation edging on your side of the boundary then you will have no recompense.

Don't be surprised if the council consider this their property and adopt the edging. :rolleyes:
