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.
Before quoting in Kilmarnock we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Kilmarnock mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Kilmarnock we can price work such as building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Kilmarnock
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
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 Kilmarnock jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
