Resin patios across the Highlands and Islands
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.
Old slabs can sometimes be overlaid, but only if every slab is fully bedded and level. Slabs that rock, or that were laid on spot-bedding, are lifted and replaced with a concrete or porous asphalt base first.
Typical projects we can quote for in Inverness include building a gentle ramp to a back door, replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio and finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings.

Weather and working days
