Resin patios across the Lothians
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.
Resin bound works well on patios because foot traffic is light and the finish is comfortable underfoot. A slightly finer aggregate blend gives a smoother surface for furniture and bare feet.
In Livingston we can price work such as replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio, building a gentle ramp to a back door and laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool.

Resin patios: £40–£110 per m².
Worked example: a 28 m² patio in the Lothians laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,150–£1,800. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £1,950–£3,100.
Planning in the Lothians
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.
Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in the Lothians, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Resin patios in the Lothians: questions
What postcodes do you cover around the Lothians?
We cover EH and the surrounding districts, including Livingston and Musselburgh.
Do I need planning permission in the Lothians?
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.
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in the Lothians?
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.
