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.
In Montrose, 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. Around Montrose, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Montrose include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Montrose
Labour and material costs in Tayside run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 53 m² drive in the DD9 area would be around £1,650–£2,600 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,050–£4,700 with a dig-out and new base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bonded driveways | £30–£90 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £45–£125 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £65–£105 per m² |

Planning in Montrose
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
