Resin bonded driveways across Moray

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.

Across Moray, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden.

Prices in Moray

Guide prices for Moray are based on North East 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.

For a 62 m² drive in Moray: about £1,950–£3,050 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,600–£5,500 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Moray

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

North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Laying days in Elgin are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
