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.
Before quoting in Auchterarder we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Auchterarder, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Perth and Kinross, the projects we price include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Auchterarder
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.
