What resin bonded driveways involve

A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.

Any resin job in Forfar starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Plots around Forfar are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.

In Forfar we can price work such as framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Forfar

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. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.

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 Forfar are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
