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 St Austell says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around St Austell, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around St Austell include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in St Austell
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Cornwall, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
