Our Services

Resin Bound Driveways

Smooth, permeable resin bound driveways, patios and paths. No loose stones, no puddles and almost nothing to do to keep them looking new.

What's Involved

Resin Bound Driveways, done properly

A resin bound surface gives you a flat, seamless finish that water soaks straight through. No loose stones rattling around the car, no puddles by the front door and no sweeping the drive every weekend.

Natural stone is mixed with a clear resin on site and trowelled onto a solid base by hand. Every piece of stone is coated on all sides before it goes down, so nothing works loose. The finished depth is usually 18mm on a driveway and 15mm on a path or patio, laid over a solid, bound base.

What's Included

What a typical job covers

One team covers the whole job from the excavation to the final sweep. Here is what is included as standard.

01

Resin bound driveways

Full drives and parking bays in a smooth, seamless finish.

02

Patios & seating areas

Terraces that drain properly and stay comfortable underfoot.

03

Garden paths & side returns

Neat, level access right around the house.

04

Steps & level thresholds

Easy access to front doors, ideal for prams and wheelchairs.

05

Overlays on tarmac & concrete

Where the base is sound, we lay straight over the top.

06

Contrasting edging, banding and inlaid house numbers.

How It Works

A clear path from first visit to final finish

No surprises and no disappearing acts. You always know who is coming, what is happening next and roughly how long it will take.

01

Free site visit & quote

John comes out, measures up, checks how the ground drains and talks through the options. You get a clear written price with no pressure.

02

Choosing your finish

We bring samples so you can see the colours and materials against your own house before you commit to anything.

03

Groundwork

We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact the sub-base in layers and concrete in the edgings. This is the part that decides how long it lasts.

04

Laying the surface

Resin, blocks or slabs laid to the correct depth by our own team, with drainage and borders finished properly.

05

Clean up & handover

Everything swept, all waste taken away and a walk round together so you are happy before we leave.

Good To Know

Questions we get a lot

Can you lay resin over my existing driveway?

Usually yes, if it is tarmac or concrete and still in good condition. We check for cracking, movement and drainage first. Resin cannot go straight over block paving, gravel or slabs, because those surfaces move independently and the resin would crack.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not. In England, permission is generally needed only where more than five square metres of a front garden is covered in a material water cannot pass through and the water has nowhere to drain within your boundary. Resin bound paving is permeable, so it normally falls outside that. Permitted development rights can be restricted on some properties, so we always check before quoting, and listed buildings and conservation areas have their own rules.

How long does it take?

Most domestic driveways are finished in one to three days. It is walkable the same day and ready for the car after 24 to 48 hours.

Will weeds grow through it?

Not from underneath. The surface is sealed against anything pushing up through it. Windblown seeds can settle in debris on top, and a sweep deals with those in seconds.
