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 Aberystwyth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Aberystwyth are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Aberystwyth include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Aberystwyth
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.

Weather and working days
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Dyfed, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
