Improved rear garden with a new sandstone patio leading to a repainted garden shed

Driveways

Resin bound driveways give a smooth, permeable finish that sits well with traditional houses. Monoblock and natural stone setts are hard-wearing and repairable, and gravel with a stone or granite edge works on longer drives. Whatever the surface, the drive is excavated, built up on a compacted sub-base and laid to falls so water drains away from the house and garage, with kerbs and edging finished to match.

Paths and steps

Garden paths in natural stone, porcelain or gravel, and steps between levels on sloping plots, are built on solid foundations with even risers so they stay safe in wet weather. Where an old path has been lifted by tree roots, it can be rebuilt on a new line or a new base.

Small jobs count too

Improvements do not have to be big. Re-edging a border, replacing a failed timber edge or levelling a hollow in the lawn are all priced as jobs in their own right.

Garden improvements in Bearsden: common questions

Is a resin driveway suitable for Bearsden?

Resin bound surfaces are permeable and cope well with Scottish rain when laid on a suitable base, and they suit many traditional properties. We advise whether your existing base can be reused or needs replacing.

Can new paving be matched to an existing driveway?

Often, though weathered stone and older block patterns can be hard to match exactly. We source the closest option and show you a sample first.

Why do driveways sink?

Usually because the sub-base was too thin or poorly compacted, or water has got underneath. A lasting repair means lifting the surface and rebuilding the base.
