Resin bonded driveways across Dumfries and Galloway
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.
Resin bonded is the scatter-coat system. The resin is rolled onto a solid, sound base, the aggregate is broadcast over it until it is fully covered, and once the resin has cured the excess stone is brushed off and reused.
Projects we quote in and around Dumfries include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in Dumfries and Galloway
Guide prices for Dumfries and Galloway are based on South of Scotland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bonded driveways: £30–£90 per m².
Typical Dumfries and Galloway figures for a 64 m² drive: £2,000–£3,150 over sound tarmac or concrete; £3,700–£5,700 with a dig-out and new base. Both include VAT.
Planning in Dumfries and Galloway
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
The South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
