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.
In Kelso, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Around Kelso, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Kelso include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Kelso
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
The South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in the Scottish Borders, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
