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 Hawick says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Hawick are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across the Scottish Borders, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about driveway extensions and widening.

Planning in Hawick
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 South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Hawick jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
