What is resin bound?
A smooth, natural-looking finish that lets water drain through
A resin bound surface is natural aggregate mixed with a clear resin, then trowelled by hand into a smooth, even finish. Because the stones are fully coated, nothing comes loose, so there are no stray stones on the lawn or in the house.
The finished surface is permeable. Rain soaks straight through to the base below instead of running off onto the road, which is why resin is a popular choice for front gardens in Cheshire and on the Wirral.

Why resin
Why people choose a resin driveway
Lets rain drain away
Water passes through the surface, so you get fewer puddles and less run-off onto the pavement.
Easy to look after
A regular sweep and an occasional pressure wash is all it needs to keep looking fresh.
Lots of colours
Blend aggregates to suit the house, from warm creams and browns to cool greys.
Built to last
With proper care a resin bound surface can last 15 to 25 years.
Colours and options
Resin colours, and bound vs bonded
Popular blends are shown below. We can bring samples when we come out to measure up.
Popular resin blends
Colours on screen are a guide only. Ask to see samples before you choose.
Resin bound or resin bonded?
| Resin bound (what we lay) | Resin bonded | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s laid | Stone and resin mixed together, then trowelled smooth | Resin spread on the base, loose stone scattered on top |
| Drainage | Permeable, water drains through | Not permeable, water runs off |
| Feel underfoot | Smooth and even | Rougher, like a gravel finish |
| Loose stones | None | Some loose stones over time |
If you’ve been quoted for resin, it’s worth asking which one it is. They look similar when new but behave very differently.

FAQs
Resin driveway questions
Short answers to the things people ask us most about resin.
How long does a resin driveway last?
With proper care, a resin bound driveway can last 15 to 25 years. A good base and the right resin make the biggest difference.
Is a resin driveway permeable?
Yes. Resin bound surfaces let water drain through to the base below, which helps reduce puddles and surface run-off.
How do I look after a resin driveway?
Sweep it regularly and give it an occasional pressure wash. Clear leaves and spills quickly so they don’t stain.
Can resin be laid over my old driveway?
Often, yes. If your existing tarmac or concrete is stable and in good condition, resin can go straight over it. We’ll check this when we visit.
Can you do resin patios and paths?
Yes. Resin works well for patios, garden paths and around pools as well as driveways.
What guarantee do I get?
Our resin driveways come with a 5-year guarantee.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No. There’s no deposit and you pay when the job is finished. Finance is also available.
