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.
Before quoting in Lossiemouth we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plots around Lossiemouth are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Moray, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Lossiemouth
For North East Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 71 m² drive in the IV31 area would be around £2,200–£3,500 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,100–£6,300 with a dig-out and new base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bonded driveways | £30–£90 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £65–£105 per m² |
| Driveway extensions and widening | £65–£105 per m² |

Planning in Lossiemouth
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Moray, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
