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 Livingston we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Livingston mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Livingston include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Livingston
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 Livingston jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
