⚠️ RESIN DRIVEWAY WARNING ⚠️

These photos are of a resin driveway we have just had to remove.

At first glance, you might be thinking:

“That looks perfectly fine!”

And that’s exactly the point.

This driveway was installed by another supplier, but it had started to sink and break up, so unfortunately the entire resin surface had to be removed.

When we removed it, we found the base had been constructed using sand, plastic grids and approximately 6mm stone, with no proper base coat.

The result? The resin had no suitable foundation to support it and had started to sink.

💷 Thousands of pounds worth of material effectively ended up in the bin.

We absolutely LOVE resin and we are approved suppliers of resin, but this is why we cannot stress enough:

THE FOUNDATION IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE RESIN.

A beautiful resin finish is only as good as what’s underneath it.

So if you’re considering a resin driveway, don’t just compare the finished product or the price.

Ask what is going underneath it.

What base is being used?
How is it being prepared?
What is the resin being laid onto?

Cutting corners on the groundwork can end up costing you thousands more further down the line.

We’re a family business with over 30 years’ experience, with Dad bringing over 50 years’ experience to the industry.

We’d much rather do the job properly from the ground up than see a customer having to pay twice.

Do it properly from the start. 👌

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from a happy customer.

A huge thank you to Julia for taking the time to send us this lovely message after completing her new driveway.

This project completely transformed the front and side of the property, replacing tired old paving with a smart new tar driveway that’s built to last.

We take great pride in every job we complete, no matter the size, and it’s always rewarding to know our customers are delighted with the finished result.

Thank you again, Julia, for your kind words and for allowing us to share your photos. It was a pleasure working for you.

For my Montrose friends xx

🦔🏡 HELP GET DONALD HOME 🏡🦔

Donald was rescued from Garvock Avenue in Montrose so we’re looking to release him as close to there as possible.

Hedgehogs have a mental map of their home area and where they can find food, water, and shelter so it’s not fair to relocate them unless there’s absolutely no choice.

If you live near there and fulfil the following criteria, please get in touch 🙏🏻

✔️ Do you have areas of cover in your garden?
✔️ Do you have hedgehogs visiting already?
✔️ Are there gaps for them to come and go?
✔️ Do you have a hedgehog house or could you put one in your garden?
✔️ Are you willing to put food and water out for at least the first few days?
✔️ If you have a dog, is it one that shows no interest in hedgehogs? Do you take it out to the garden on a lead after dark?

Another great job completed recently in Aberdeenshire 👇

The existing surface was worn, broken and no longer fit for purpose.

We dug out the damaged areas, removed all old materials from site, and resurfaced to create a smooth, durable finish throughout.

The result is a much safer, cleaner and more accessible road for both vehicles and customers using the caravan site.

It’s not just about how it looks, it’s about making the space work better day to day and reducing ongoing maintenance.

However big or small the job, we take care of everything from start to finish.

A full transformation from start to finish 👇

Stage 1 – Existing driveway lifted and cleared
Stage 2 – All waste materials removed and responsibly disposed of
Stage 3 – Ground prepared and levelled properly
Stage 4 – New edging installed
Stage 5 – Tarmac laid and finished

The difference this makes is huge. Not just visually, but in how the space works day to day. Easier access, low maintenance, and far less wear and tear on vehicles.

Everything taken care of, leaving a clean, tidy and long lasting finish.

However big or small the job, we handle it from start to finish.
