New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Glasgow
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.
Because the base is new, this is also the moment to fix levels, add edging, move the drive line, widen the entrance or add channel drains, so the quote is itemised to show what each part costs.
Typical projects we can quote for in Glasgow include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Glasgow
For the West of Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £65–£105 per m².
As a guide, a 47 m² drive in the G area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £3,150–£5,000, including VAT.
Planning in Glasgow
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Glasgow, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
