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.
Any quote we prepare in Bonnyrigg says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Bonnyrigg are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bonnyrigg include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Bonnyrigg
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
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Bonnyrigg 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.
