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 Kelso says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plots around Kelso are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.

In Kelso we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Kelso

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

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.
