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 Amersham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Amersham are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Buckinghamshire, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Amersham
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.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Amersham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
