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 Peebles 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 Peebles, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Peebles include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Peebles
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. Laying days in Peebles are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
