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 Dumfries we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Dumfries range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Dumfries include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Dumfries
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 South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
