The Surface

What Is Resin Bound Paving?

Simply put, resin bound paving is a porous paving solution that can be used on your driveway, your patio, and even the pathways in your garden.

You should not confuse this technique with resin bonded surfacing, where the gravel can become loose over time because only a wafer-thin layer of resin is applied before laying the aggregate particles.

Resin bound paving offers a longer-lasting paving solution because the aggregate is completely mixed together with resin before laying, guaranteeing a completely bound surface. Usually, such a surfacing consists of a mix of washed, natural aggregate stones and a pure UV-stable resin. The end result of this mixture is normally a resilient, cleanable surface ideal for driveways, patios, and walkways.

In Hazel Grove, Greater Manchester, this type of paving is becoming a highly popular option mostly due to the superior visual appeal and its ability to increase the value of a project.

The Benefits

Why Go With Resin Bound Paving?

Aside from the fact that resin bound paving is a fairly economical paving method that is adaptable and resistant to cracking, various other reasons render it the ideal paving solution in Hazel Grove, Greater Manchester. The Environment Agency has consistently recommended that homeowners and businesses make use of resin to alleviate flooding.

1

UV Protection

UV-stable resin means your surface won’t fade or lose its colour over time, staying vibrant for the life of the installation.

2

Custom Driveways

Create a fully bespoke driveway using your own unique design ideas. A wide variety of aggregate colours and sizes are available, with contrasting border options.

3

Porous & Anti-Slip

Fully porous and totally anti-slip surfacing, helping with water drainage and safety underfoot year-round while meeting SuDS drainage regulations.

4

No Sinking Sections

You don’t have to worry about sections of your driveway sinking anymore. A properly installed resin bound surface stays level for decades.

5

Fluid Resistant

Resin-bound surfaces are resistant to liquids like diesel, petrol, and oil — ideal for driveways where vehicles are regularly parked.

6

Very Low Maintenance

Your driveway and walkways will need very little upkeep throughout the year. A simple jet wash is all that’s needed to keep the surface pristine.

7

Weed-Free Surface

Weeds cannot thrive on a resin bound surface. The seamless finish leaves nowhere for weeds or moss to take hold.

8

No Planning Permission

No planning permission is needed, thanks to the porous quality of resin bound surfacing — unlike block paving, concrete, or tarmac.

9

Long-Lasting — 25+ Years

When properly installed and maintained, resin bound paving can easily endure for over 25 years. We back every installation with a 5-year guarantee.

It is difficult to estimate a cost per square metre for resin driveways as each job has entirely unique factors to consider and requirements. Typically speaking, though, jobs would usually cost from approximately £40 per square metre upwards depending upon the overall size of the area, existing flooring, and variety of aggregate. Contact us for a free, detailed written quotation.

There are two main driveway resin types on the market. Epoxy is seldom used in the driveway installation market these days. In contrast to Polyurethane, it does not provide the same load-bearing strength. Polyurethane resin standards for the driveway industry include the use of polymers to improve durability. We use a UV-resistant resin depending on the colour of the stone chosen.

A resin bound driveway versus a tarmac driveway is an appealing option, and it’s also far more durable. Its naturally attractive appearance is a refreshing change from bland, uninspiring tarmac, asphalt, or concrete. Resin bound is also fully porous, meaning it meets SuDS drainage regulations and typically doesn’t require planning permission — unlike tarmac.

Resin bound paving is a long-lasting, hard-wearing surface. Although warranties vary between ten and 21 years, when properly installed and maintained, it can easily endure for more than 25 years. It requires very little maintenance — there are no weeds to pull or loose stones to sweep. We back every installation in Hazel Grove with a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

When it comes to price, block paving costs can fluctuate drastically, even for the same product. In contrast, resin bonded stone prices tend to be much more consistent and are generally significantly more affordable than a block paving alternative — provided there is a suitable solid base to work on. For pedestrian use, resin can even be laid over a flagstone or MOT base, keeping costs lower.

Yes, resin driveways are long lasting. They are made up of multiple blends of components such as natural aggregate, stones, and even recycled glass. These materials are highly penetrative, meaning that moisture does not damage the surface. As a result, resin driveways can endure heavy use and adverse weather conditions for many years without cracking or breaking down.

Tarmac and concrete are among the most suitable bases for resin driveways. The porous resin bound materials may be laid directly onto an existing tarmac surface if it remains in good condition, or (after sufficient time), a newly installed one. We always survey the existing surface first to assess suitability before recommending the best approach.

Resin Bound Gravel is a trowel-applied system that has selected aggregates mixed with the resin and laid to a smooth, level surface without any loose stone. The finish is seamless, porous, and compliant with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). Resin Bonded Gravel, on the other hand, is when the chosen aggregate is scattered and bonded onto a resin base, providing a textured appearance of loose stones. However, it’s not permeable, and loose stones can become dislodged over time. We install resin bound surfacing only.
