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.
Before quoting in Kilwinning 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 Kilwinning are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Ayrshire, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, 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.

Planning in Kilwinning
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
