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 Blackwood 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 Blackwood, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Gwent, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Blackwood
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
