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 St Andrews says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around St Andrews are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Fife, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in St Andrews
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
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Fife, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
