Resin garden paths across the Scottish Borders
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.
Paths are where resin bound shows what it can do: a curve that would mean dozens of cuts in block paving is simply trowelled. The edges matter more than on a drive, so steel, timber or sett edging is fixed first.
In Hawick we can price work such as linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend, replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio and laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool.
Prices in the Scottish Borders
For the South of Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin garden paths: £45–£125 per m².
For a 9 m² path in the Scottish Borders: about £500–£750 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £800–£1,250 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in the Scottish Borders
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.
Weather and working days
The South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Hawick jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Resin garden paths in the Scottish Borders: questions
How soon can you survey in the Scottish Borders?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Is the price fixed for the Scottish Borders jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in the Scottish Borders?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
