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.
In Stranraer, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Plots around Stranraer are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Stranraer include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, 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 Stranraer
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.
