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 Elgin we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Elgin have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Elgin we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, 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 Elgin
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
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.
How it works
