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 Kilwinning says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Kilwinning, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Kilwinning include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Kilwinning
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Ayrshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
