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 quote we prepare in Stranraer says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Stranraer are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Dumfries and Galloway, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Stranraer
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 South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Stranraer jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
