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 Johnstone we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Johnstone are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Johnstone
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
