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 Livingston says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Homes in Livingston range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Livingston include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Livingston
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.

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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
