Footpaths and cycle paths across Edinburgh
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.
Across Edinburgh, the projects we price include adding anti-slip resin to an entrance ramp, surfacing a car park with marked bays and finishing tree pits flush with surrounding paving.

Planning in Edinburgh
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
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Footpaths and cycle paths in Edinburgh: questions
Do I need planning permission in Edinburgh?
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.
Is the price fixed for Edinburgh 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.
