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 Southsea says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Southsea, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Hampshire, the projects we price include building a gentle ramp to a back door, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend. More about resin garden paths.

Planning in Southsea
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
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

Resin garden paths in Southsea: questions
Do I need planning permission in Southsea?
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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Southsea?
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.
