In Colinton we can price work such as building a gentle ramp to a back door, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and laying a curving path through a back garden.

Planning in Colinton
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Edinburgh, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
