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.
Any resin job in Kilmarnock 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. Kilmarnock mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Ayrshire, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Kilmarnock
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Laying days in Kilmarnock are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
