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 Queensferry says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Queensferry, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Queensferry include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Queensferry
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.
