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 Queensferry says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Queensferry, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Edinburgh, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Queensferry
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
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.
