What new resin driveways (full dig-out) involves
A new resin driveway starts from the ground up: the old surface and soft ground are dug out and taken away, a compacted stone sub-base and a binder course (usually porous asphalt or concrete) are laid, and the resin bound surface goes on top.
Any quote we prepare in Aberdeen says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Aberdeen range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Aberdeenshire, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Aberdeen
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Aberdeen jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
