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 Letchworth Garden City, 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 Letchworth Garden City have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Letchworth Garden City include laying a curving path through a back garden, 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.

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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Letchworth Garden City jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
