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 Ballymena says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Ballymena have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across County Antrim, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Ballymena
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. 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 it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
General information for Northern Ireland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Antrim, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
