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 Carshalton, 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. Many homes in Carshalton have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Carshalton include replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings. More about resin garden paths.

Planning in Carshalton
Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

Resin garden paths in Carshalton: questions
How much is a resin path in Carshalton?
As a guide, £60–£170 per m² in Carshalton including VAT, depending mainly on whether your existing base can be overlaid. Your written quote follows a free survey.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Carshalton?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Carshalton?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
