What driveway extensions and widening involves
A driveway extension adds new hard-standing to an existing drive, usually by taking in part of the front garden, so more cars can park off the road. The new area needs its own excavation and base, and the whole drive is often resurfaced in resin so old and new match.
Any quote we prepare in Inverurie says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Inverurie, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Inverurie include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Inverurie
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.
If cars will cross the pavement in a new place, or the crossing needs widening, consent is needed from your council as roads authority before any kerb work.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Laying days in Inverurie are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
