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.
Before quoting in Galashiels we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Galashiels, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Galashiels we can price work such as laying a curving path through a back garden, linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings. More about resin garden paths.

General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South of Scotland mixes wet western hills with drier eastern lowlands, and frost is common in winter. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.

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.
