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 Thurso, 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. Around Thurso, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across the Highlands and Islands, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Thurso
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
The Highlands and Islands have short laying seasons and wet, exposed weather, so materials and timing are planned well ahead. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Thurso jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
