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 Bonnyrigg says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Bonnyrigg, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Bonnyrigg include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Bonnyrigg
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
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
