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 St Andrews 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. Plots around St Andrews are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Fife, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, 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 St Andrews
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
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. Laying days in St Andrews are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
