Resin tree pits across Essex
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.
Across Essex, the projects we price include 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 Essex
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
The East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Southend-on-Sea jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Who approves dropped kerbs in Essex?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Essex?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
