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.
In Oxford, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Drives in Oxford range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Oxford include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Oxford
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Oxford are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
