With over 15 years of experience in driveways, paving and landscaping, we provide carefully prepared resin surfaces with a clean, contemporary appearance.
What Is a Resin-Bound Driveway?
A resin-bound surface is created by thoroughly mixing decorative aggregate with resin before the material is laid and hand-finished across the prepared area. This produces a smooth, consistent surface with the natural appearance and texture of stone without the loose aggregate associated with a traditional gravel driveway.
Resin is particularly suited to homeowners looking for a neat, contemporary finish, but the wide range of aggregate colours available also means it can work well alongside more traditional properties.
Resin Driveways Designed Around Your Property
Every property presents different requirements, so we consider the size and shape of the driveway, vehicle access, existing levels, surrounding landscaping and the appearance of your home before the installation begins.
Different aggregate blends can be used to achieve anything from lighter natural stone tones to darker, more contemporary finishes. Contrasting edging and borders can also be incorporated to define the driveway and create a clean transition between the resin surface, pathways and surrounding garden.
Groundwork & Base Preparation
The appearance of a resin driveway is only one part of a good installation. The condition and suitability of the base underneath are critical to how the completed surface performs.
We assess the existing driveway and prepare the area according to the requirements of the project. Where new groundwork is needed, the driveway is constructed on an appropriate, stable base before the resin-bound finish is installed. Existing surfaces are only retained where they are suitable for the proposed installation.
Drainage & Permeable Resin Surfacing
Resin-bound surfacing can form part of a permeable driveway system, allowing rainwater to pass through the finished surface rather than simply running across it. For the driveway to function as a permeable system, however, the construction beneath the resin must also be suitable for managing water.
We consider existing levels, falls, drainage and the surrounding ground when planning the installation so that surface water is dealt with appropriately for the property.
Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded
Although the names sound similar, resin-bound and resin-bonded surfacing are different systems. With resin-bound paving, the aggregate and resin are mixed together before the material is laid. Resin-bonded surfacing involves applying resin to a surface and spreading aggregate over the top.
For driveways where a smooth decorative finish and permeability are important, resin-bound surfacing is generally the relevant system. We can discuss the most appropriate construction for your property during the initial site visit.
A Smooth, Practical Driveway Surface
Resin-bound driveways provide a relatively smooth surface compared with loose gravel, making them practical for vehicle access, pathways and frequently used entrances. Once installed and cured correctly, there are no loose stones to redistribute across the driveway during normal use.
Maintenance is generally straightforward. Regular sweeping to remove leaves and debris, together with appropriate periodic cleaning, helps maintain the appearance of the surface and prevents dirt from building up.
Resin for Paths, Patios & Outdoor Areas
Resin-bound surfacing is not limited to driveways. It can also be used for pathways, entrances, patio areas and other outdoor spaces where a decorative, hard-wearing surface is required.
Using the same or complementary aggregate blends across different areas can create a coordinated appearance throughout the property and connect driveways, paths and landscaped areas more effectively.
