Footpaths and cycle paths across Greater Manchester
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.
Typical projects we can quote for in Manchester include laying permeable paths on a new housing scheme, surfacing a car park with marked bays and finishing tree pits flush with surrounding paving.
Prices in Greater Manchester

Planning in Greater Manchester
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater Manchester, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Footpaths and cycle paths in Greater Manchester: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in Greater Manchester?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
What postcodes do you cover around Greater Manchester?
We cover M, OL, SK, BL and the surrounding districts, including Manchester and Oldham.
Do I need planning permission in Greater Manchester?
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.
