Resin bound paving is created by mixing thoroughly dried natural aggregates with a UV-stable polyurethane resin in a forced-action mixer. This ensures every stone particle is fully coated, producing a smooth, seamless, trowel-applied finish that is completely bound — with no loose stones whatsoever.
Unlike gravel or loose stone, resin bound paving is safe underfoot, doesn’t scatter onto paths or roads, and won’t be tracked indoors on shoes. It’s also fully porous, meaning rainwater drains through to the ground below rather than pooling on the surface.
This porosity is important: it means resin bound paving complies with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations, and in most cases you won’t need planning permission to install it over your existing driveway or front garden.
The result is a beautiful, natural-looking surface available in a huge range of aggregate colours and blends — from warm golds and buffs to cool greys and silvers — that transforms the look of any property.
Resin bound paving offers a combination of practical benefits and visual appeal that no other driveway surface can match. Here’s why thousands of homeowners across Greater Manchester choose it every year.
Rainwater drains directly through the surface, eliminating puddles and meeting planning regulations without the need for additional drainage works.
Every aggregate particle is fully bound. No stones tracked indoors, no scatter onto the road, no damage to lawnmowers or vehicles.
A simple jet wash or brush down is all that’s needed to keep your resin surface looking fresh. No sealing, no re-sanding, no weeding.
The dense, seamless surface gives weeds and moss nowhere to take hold, keeping your driveway looking clean and tidy for years.
We use UV-stable resin that won’t yellow or degrade in sunlight, meaning your chosen aggregate colour stays vibrant for the life of the surface.
The textured finish provides excellent grip in wet conditions, and the porous nature of the surface prevents standing water that can freeze in winter.
Choose from natural stones including Autumn Gold, Pearl, Ivory, Buff, Chestnut, Russet and many more — or create a bespoke blend unique to your home.
A high-quality resin bound driveway significantly enhances kerb appeal and is increasingly valued by estate agents and prospective buyers.
Properly installed on a sound sub-base, resin bound paving can last well over 20 years. We back every installation with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

Resin bound paving is a surface made by mixing dried natural aggregates with UV-stable polyurethane resin in a forced-action mixer. The mixture is then trowel-applied to give a smooth, seamless, fully porous finish. It’s popular for driveways, paths and patios because it’s attractive, durable and very low maintenance.
Absolutely. Resin bound paving is one of the most popular driveway surfaces across Tameside and Ashton-Under-Lyne. It’s fully porous — meeting SuDS drainage regulations — hard-wearing, low maintenance and looks exceptional for years. It suits all property types, from terrace houses to detached homes.
A properly installed resin bound surface laid on a sound sub-base can last well over 20 years with minimal maintenance. The UV-stable resin we use is resistant to fading and degradation, and the aggregates retain their natural colour and texture for the life of the surface. We back every installation with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
In most cases, no. Because resin bound paving is fully porous, rainwater drains through to the ground beneath rather than running off into the road or drains. This means it typically doesn’t require planning permission under SuDS regulations, unlike block paving or concrete. We’ll advise you specifically based on your property during the free survey.
Most residential driveways in Ashton-Under-Lyne are completed in 1–2 days, depending on the size of the area and whether any preparatory groundworks are required. We’ll give you a clear installation timeline as part of your written quotation.

In some cases, yes — if the existing surface is structurally sound, level and stable. We’ll assess this during your free survey. If the existing sub-base is damaged, cracked or uneven, we’ll recommend full excavation and a new sub-base to ensure the best long-term result. We’ll always give you honest advice.
