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.
Before quoting in Montrose we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Montrose are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Angus and Dundee, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Montrose
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.

Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Laying days in Montrose are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
