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 resin job in Auchterarder starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Around Auchterarder, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Auchterarder we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Auchterarder
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 Auchterarder are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
