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 Oban we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Oban, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Oban we can price work such as linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend, laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool and replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio. More about resin patios.
