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 Peebles 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. Around Peebles, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Peebles include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, 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 Peebles
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
