Resin bound driveways across Moray
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.
Resin bound is the system most people mean when they ask for a resin driveway. The aggregate and resin are weighed, mixed on site in a forced-action mixer, then spread and finished with steel trowels in one continuous pour, so there are no joints for weeds to root in.
Projects we quote in and around Elgin include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build.
Prices in Moray
For North East Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bound driveways: £40–£105 per m².
For a 56 m² drive in Moray: about £2,250–£3,500 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,750–£6,000 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Moray
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
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Moray, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
