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.
In Dunoon, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Plots around Dunoon are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Dunoon include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Dunoon
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Dunoon jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
