New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Gwynedd
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.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
Projects we quote in and around Bangor include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.

New resin driveways (full dig-out): £70–£110 per m².
As a guide, a 31 m² drive in the LL area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be around £2,100–£3,400, including VAT.
Planning in Gwynedd
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.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Gwynedd, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
