What resin patios involve
A resin patio is a resin bound surface laid in a garden for seating and dining areas. Because it is trowelled in one piece, it has no joints for weeds or ants, it can follow curves easily, and it can be laid over sound concrete or old slabs that are solidly bedded.
Before quoting in Aberdeen we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Aberdeen range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Aberdeen include laying a curving path through a back garden, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Aberdeen
Prices in North East Scotland are below the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
Worked example: a 33 m² patio in Aberdeen laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,300–£2,050. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £2,200–£3,500.

Planning in Aberdeen
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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North East Scotland is relatively dry for Scotland but cold, so the laying season is shorter and a free-draining base helps with frost. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Aberdeen jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
Resin patios in Aberdeen: questions
Is the price fixed for Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen?
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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Aberdeen?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as roads authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
