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 Perth, 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. Homes in Perth range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Perth include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Perth
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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Laying days in Perth are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
