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 Perth 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. Perth mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Perth include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Perth
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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. Laying days in Perth are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
