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 Newcastle upon Tyne we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Housing in Newcastle upon Tyne ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
Projects we quote in and around Newcastle upon Tyne include building a gentle ramp to a back door, laying a curving path through a back garden and linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend. More about resin garden paths.

Planning in Newcastle upon Tyne
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Tyne and Wear, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Resin garden paths in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions
Do I need planning permission in Newcastle upon Tyne?
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.
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Often, yes. Tell us where you saw it or show us a photo, and we will bring the closest blends to the survey to compare in daylight.
Can you lay resin in Newcastle upon Tyne in winter?
On dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, yes. The North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C.
