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 Harpenden says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Harpenden mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Harpenden include laying a curving path through a back garden, linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend and building a gentle ramp to a back door. More about resin garden paths.

Planning in Harpenden
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 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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
Resin garden paths in Harpenden: questions
Do I need planning permission in Harpenden?
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.
