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 St Andrews we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around St Andrews, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Fife, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in St Andrews
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
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so St Andrews jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
