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 Musselburgh we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Musselburgh, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across the Lothians, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Musselburgh
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
