Resin bound driveways are excellent alternatives to concrete and tarmac – they are more eco-friendly, lower maintenance, more weather-resistant, and have a wider variety of colours and finishes available, so can really add kerb appeal to your home.

Resin bound stone driveways are made up of natural aggregates mixed with a UV-stable resin. Bound together, they create a highly robust yet water-permeable surface. Its unique properties mean that resin bound stone can withstand very heavy traffic, including from HGVs, and can last for 20 years when well-maintained.
As resin is water-permeable, rainfall can easily drain across the surface, reducing puddles and flooding and making it a more eco-friendly choice than concrete. It’s also less likely to become slippery when wet, so a safer option too!
Resin bound stone is very low-maintenance surface. It should only require occasional sweeping with a stiff brush or broom to remove leaves and organic matter, which will help to reduce weed and moss growth.
It is recommended to periodically wash the surface using a pressure washer to remove more stubborn grime. More details can be provided on request.

Are resin bound driveways
wheelchair-accessible?
Yes, as they provide a solid, smooth and even surface, making it accessible for wheelchairs and prams. They’re also much less susceptible to cracking or crumbling in hot weather, compared to tarmac or concrete.
The water permeability of the surface also makes it less slippery than many other outside surfaces. Overall, there are lots of great qualities about this material that make it more accessible and wheelchair-friendly.
Can you install resin bound stone
over concrete?
Yes, subject to the suitability and stability of the concrete. We will advise about this when we prepare your quote.
How thick should a resin bound
driveway be?
We advise that the new surface should be at least 25mm for domestic purposes.
What is the resin bound driveway
cost per m2?
The estimated cost will be from £150 per square metre. We will put together a bespoke quote for your project based on the size of your driveway, the existing driveway’s surface and how much preparation would be required before installation. It’s always best if we conduct an in-person survey in order to put your quote together, although in some cases, photos and measurements provided by the client may be sufficient if you would like a quick estimate. Get in touch to request a quote or survey.
How quickly can you install my
new driveway?
We can install your driveway in as little as 3-4 weeks from you approving your bespoke quote. However, please note that resin cannot be laid in wet weather conditions or in temperatures below 10°c, which may impact when we can carry out the installation.
