What resin bound driveways involve
A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.
Before quoting in Peterhead we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Peterhead, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Aberdeenshire, the projects we price include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Peterhead
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
