Resin pool surrounds across the Lothians
A resin pool surround is a resin bound surface laid around a swimming pool or hot tub. It drains quickly, has no joints to trap water, and a light-coloured blend stays cooler in the sun than dark paving.
Around water the priorities are grip, drainage and comfort under bare feet. A finer, lighter aggregate with an anti-slip additive gives a surface that sheds water quickly and does not get as hot as dark stone.
Typical projects we can quote for in Livingston include linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and laying a curving path through a back garden.

Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
