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 Washwood Heath, 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. Washwood Heath mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Washwood Heath include building a gentle ramp to a back door, linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio. More about resin garden paths.

Planning in Washwood Heath
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Washwood Heath jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Resin garden paths in Washwood Heath: questions
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in Washwood Heath?
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.
Do I need planning permission in Washwood Heath?
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.
How much is a resin path in Washwood Heath?
As a guide, £50–£140 per m² in Washwood Heath including VAT, depending mainly on whether your existing base can be overlaid. Your written quote follows a free survey.
