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.
Any resin job in Elgin starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Elgin mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Moray, the projects we price include laying a cool, pale surround for a garden pool, linking a patio, path and garden room in one blend and laying a curving path through a back garden. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Elgin
For North East Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 34 m² patio in the IV30 area would be around £1,350–£2,100 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,250–£3,650 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Elgin
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 Elgin jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
