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 Galashiels 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 Galashiels, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Galashiels we can price work such as replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Galashiels
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
The South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. 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.
