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 Currie says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Currie, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Currie we can price work such as 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 Currie
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.

Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Edinburgh, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
