Looking for Resin Driveway Installation Services In Bournemouth Dorset?

Different Types of Resin Driveways

Two main factors to consider when choosing your Resin driveway:

  • Type of material suitable for purpose & aesthetics

  • Cost price per square metre

Resin Driveway Surface Material

With today's modern manufacturing techniques, various types of driveway surfaces are available, creating a different aesthetic to the overall property theme.

The British weather also plays a determining factor in specific driveway surface suitability. For example, hot climates benefit from gravel surfaces as the stones allow for expansion and contraction. The UK can get very cold and icy during the winter months. Providing the groundwork layers are well compacted, paved driveways are a good choice as the bricks are more suited to freezing conditions.

Before you start your resin overlay, there are important considerations you should make to get the best finish that will last.

  • Holistic Approach - The whole property consideration.

  • Satisfaction Guarantee - At least five years warranty on the work carried out.

For many homeowners, the primary consideration when deciding on the proper driveway is the overall price of investment. This outlay covers the material and the labour involved in completing the job. Some materials are easier and quicker to install than others. Other systems are cheap to manufacture from local sources and don't have associated import fees or costs.


As a general rule, there are pros and cons for each type of driveway material. Some options are much more budget-friendly but remember cutting costs isn't always the right choice.


What are resin driveways

If you read this then perhaps you know why resin-bound driveways are so sought after. If not, we're going to recap right now. Alternatively dubbed resin-bound gravel the resin-paved road surface comprises aggregates and resin. It is permeabile and is flexible, so that it can be cracked without damage or loss. The driveway installer usually uses two types. This has become a little more common because polyurethane is a much safer alternative to asphalt as it increases durability, and the installer only uses polyurethane resins for installation (UV stable).

How much does resin driveway cost?

You may also want to keep in mind how well the driveway material complements the exterior of your particular building.


A modern, contemporary driveway would not necessarily suit a period or historic property. The most complimentary solution may be more costly.


However, there is a higher return on investment with driveways more aligned with the style of a property. In other words, choosing a block paving solution for a 19th-century property would be more aligned with its natural aesthetic.

Here are the six main types of driveway surface material:


  • Concrete

  • Asphalt / Tarmac

  • Brick

  • Stone/Block Paving

  • Gravel

  • Resin

Here are three sustainable choices for you to consider:

  • Turf and Grass Grids

  • Rubber

  • Crushed Glass

How much does resin driveway cost?

Resin bound driveway lining is extremely cheap compared to other options available. Compared to preinstalled systems, the price drastically drops. The surveyor estimates that installing steps, walls or other specially designed surfaces could cost between £60 and £80 approx. Resin bound and costlier at £190 to £1120 approx than its cheaper resin overlay sister because sub-base needs to be installed before resin bound aggregate is buried beneath it. No planning permit is required.

Resin Bound Driveways

Before we start on any resin bound driveways we want to know exactly what kind you need, what it will cost and the method you want to use for your driveway. We find that clients are often looking at a lot different approaches when it comes to driveway installation projects, so we wanted to make sure you had all of the answers you could want before committing to a solution.

Will weeds grow on my new resin-bound surface?

It seems to me that resin stone does not allow weed growth in the sub-base and it also helps in bringing soil to the surface. Resin bound has a chemical composition that resembles tarmac and resin. Resin bound surfaces conform to SUD so the water will drain easily without the need to puddle and pool, or the build-up. And due to the resin-bound surfaces being non-fractures the surface will not allow weeds to grow.

Will my driveway look good?

Nobody talks about resin aggregate without talking about its beautiful properties. Not only do resin bind gravel drives appear naturally appealing once installed, you have the freedom to explore the creative side.

Resin Bonded Driveways In Bournemouth

Before we start, let's get clear on exactly what the term resin-bound entails. When you mention resin-bound driveways, you're usually thinking of something that looks like a resin bound driveway, where a layer has been placed over the surface below in such a way as to completely cover it and prevent water from seeping in. This process can last anywhere between 18 to 60 months depending upon whether you opt for a resin overlay or a resin overlay-bonded driveway, and how many months it took to install your current driveway. The beauty is in the simplicity of the method; resin drives are literally just a single layer thick over the existing surface below, and require next to no special tools to install! Sounds too simple to be real, right?
