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 Dunfermline 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. Many homes in Dunfermline have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Dunfermline include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Dunfermline
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
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Dunfermline jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
