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.
In Hythe, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Plots around Hythe are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hythe include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, 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 Hythe
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. 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.
