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 Lisburn says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Lisburn has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Across County Antrim, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Lisburn
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
