New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Angus and Dundee
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.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
Projects we quote in and around Dundee include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.

Planning in Angus and Dundee
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.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
