Resin tree pits across Edinburgh
A resin tree pit is a porous resin bound surface laid around the base of a tree in paving. It lets water and air through to the roots, removes the trip hazard of an open pit, and can be laid flush with surrounding paving.
Tree pits use a coarser blend so the surface stays porous. A gap is left around the trunk so the tree can grow, and the pit can be cut back and extended in future years.
In Queensferry we can price work such as laying a shared path through a school or park, resurfacing an office forecourt in phases so it stays open and finishing tree pits flush with surrounding paving.

Planning in Edinburgh
Commercial and development sites often have planning conditions on surfacing and drainage, including sustainable drainage. We work to the approved drawings and conditions and can supply product details for discharge of conditions.
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 Edinburgh, but dry, mild winter days can work too.

Resin tree pits in Edinburgh: questions
Do I need planning permission in Edinburgh?
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.
