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 quote we prepare in Stranraer says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Stranraer are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Stranraer include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Stranraer
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
