Footpaths and cycle paths across Dorset
Resin footpaths and cycle paths are resin bound surfaces laid on a compacted base for schools, parks, housing estates and public spaces. They give a smooth, permeable, natural-looking route that suits wheelchairs, buggies and bikes.
For shared paths the base and edges do most of the work. A firm, well-drained base and robust edging stop the surface breaking up where mowers and maintenance vehicles cross.
Projects we quote in and around Bournemouth include laying a shared path through a school or park, finishing tree pits flush with surrounding paving and laying permeable paths on a new housing scheme.

Planning in Dorset
Commercial and development sites often have planning conditions on surfacing and drainage, including sustainable drainage. We work to the approved drawings and conditions and can supply product details for discharge of conditions.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Bournemouth jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Footpaths and cycle paths in Dorset: questions
Do I need planning permission in Dorset?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Dorset jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
What postcodes do you cover around Dorset?
We cover BH, DT, SP and the surrounding districts, including Bournemouth and Poole.
