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.
Any quote we prepare in Peebles says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Peebles are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Peebles include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about new resin driveways (full dig-out).

Planning in Peebles
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
The South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in the Scottish Borders, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
