New resin driveways (full dig-out) across Moray
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.
Most resin driveway failures come from what is underneath, so a full dig-out is the safest route when the existing drive is block paving, gravel, broken tarmac, cracked concrete or lawn.
Projects we quote in and around Elgin include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive.
Prices in Moray
For North East Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
New resin driveways (full dig-out): £65–£105 per m².
For a 59 m² drive in Moray, built with a dig-out and new permeable base, expect roughly £3,950–£6,300 including VAT before any drainage or kerb work.
Planning in Moray
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.
Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
