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.
In Colchester, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Drives in Colchester range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Colchester include building a gentle ramp to a back door, laying a curving path through a back garden and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings. More about resin garden paths.

Weather and working days
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Colchester are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
