What resin garden paths involve
A resin path is a narrow resin bound surface used for garden walkways, side passages and front paths. It is laid on a compacted base with edging both sides, is permeable, and can follow tight curves without cutting.
Any quote we prepare in Helensburgh says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. In and around Helensburgh, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Argyll and Bute, the projects we price include laying a curving path through a back garden, building a gentle ramp to a back door and laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool. More about resin garden paths.
