Resin Driveway Cost - How Much is Resin Bound Per Square Metre?

The cost of a resin-bound driveway varies depending on the size and design of the driveway, as well as the materials used. Generally, you can expect to pay between £60 - £80 per square metre for a standard resin-bound driveway. For larger projects or those that require more complex designs, prices may be higher.
​
It is also important to consider other costs associated with installing your new resin-bound driveway such as excavation and groundwork. These costs will depend on how much preparation work is necessary before installation can begin. For example, if the area is already level then it will not require any excavations. However, if the area needs to be levelled out then this is an extra cost that must be factored in when considering the total cost of your project.

It is also important to factor in the ongoing maintenance costs associated with a resin-bound driveway too. This material is low maintenance, but it does require regular cleaning and resealing every two to three years. This will help to keep your driveway looking as good as new for many years to come.

Overall, resin-bound driveways are a great way to upgrade any outdoor space and add value to your home or business premises. While there is an initial cost associated with installation, this cost can be offset by the beauty and longevity that this material brings.

Why you should choose a resin bound driveway

Resin-bound driveways are a superior choice to resin-bonded driveways in terms of both aesthetic appeal and practicality. Resin-bound driveways provide a smooth, seamless finish that is durable and slip-resistant, making them ideal for areas with high foot traffic or vehicles passing over frequently. This type of surface also requires less maintenance than its counterpart, as it is more resistant to weeds and staining from oil or other substances.

Additionally, the installation process is much simpler than that of a resin-bonded driveway because no base layers need to be installed beforehand – resulting in faster installation times and lower costs. For all these reasons, many homeowners opt for a resin-bound driveway over a resin-bonded one when planning their home improvement projects.

Resin-bound driveways offer many advantages over resin-bonded ones, making them the preferred choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their property’s curb appeal. They are easy to install and provide a more natural-looking finish that is extremely durable and slip-resistant. With their low maintenance requirements and fast installation times, they can be an excellent option for homeowners who want to give their driveway a modern, eye-catching look while keeping costs down.

Resin Bound Driveway Installations

Resin bound driveway is made up of a sub-base, aggregate and the binder. The aggregate used typically comes in two different sizes (the smaller size is known as 'fines'). The sub-base needs to be compacted to ensure there are no air pockets or voids.

The binder is mixed with water and carried onto the surface by a machine - often referred to as a 'resin spreader' where it's then either dragged back over the path or trowelled into place until level. This process can vary depending on manufacturer's requirements but essentially this is how it works.

Once complete the resin dries, creating an extremely resilient surface that offers strong anti slip properties and can reduce noise penetration for roads that border residential areas.

Resin bound driveways are becoming more popular, with their aesthetic qualities and high durability making them highly sought after by homeowners wanting a maintenance free driveway.

Why Choose Resin Driveways?

• Resin Bound Driveways are strong because of their multi-layered composition, they can even take the weight of heavy vehicle traffic.
• Water permeates through the surface, does not pool, as it drains through into the ground.
• Chances of flooding is significantly decreased
• All our resin bound driveways are hand finished, which creates a smoother, more professional surface than resin bonded driveways.
• Robust and resilient driveway surfaces that will outlast other surfaces, and stand the test of time.
• Super low maintenance; easy to clean with sweep, and a jet wash.
• The stones are bonded to the resin on either side, this minimises the likelihood of stone movement

Resin bound driveways are relatively new to the UK scene as they only came into fruition in the early 2000s. Since then, resin bound has grown in popularity and now makes up a significant portion of our driveway installations.

It can sometimes seem as though there is a never ending list of benefits to choose from when looking at having a resin bound driveway installed on your property so we have made things easy for you by writing what we believe are some of the most relevant reasons down below:

Resistant to oil and grease spills that can cause surface damage: Provide good grip for vehicles - Low maintenance - Enhance the look of your property - Durability - Work with existing sand/aggregate bases.

Hard wearing: Able to withstand heavy traffic areas such as schools and shopping centres (a lot better than asphalt).

Permeable: All our resin-bound drives are fully permeable to water and air. This makes it an ideal solution when the resin mixture is laid over a permeable binder base coat, which in turn produces a Sustainable Urban Drainage system. This translates into a hard landscape surface that can be installed without any need for any planning permission. Any more information please don't hesitate, just give us a call.

Low Maintenance: With resin driveways, you can enjoy a low maintenance lifestyle. Simply sweep up any loose debris and pressure wash once in a while to keep the surface clean!

​How long do resin driveways last?

​Resin bound driveways are becoming an increasingly popular option, as they tend to last longer than other materials such as tarmac and asphalt. Their life expectancy is approximately 25 years, making them a cost-effective alternative which you can use time and time again. The resin surface may need maintenance during this time, and varies depending on many factors such as the amount of footfall, vehicular access and exposure to UV light. A resin surface can last from 3 up to 10 years before it needs a refreshment. It's vital that a professional resurfaces your resin bound driveway for a perfect finish every time - we wouldn't recommend that you attempt this yourself!

We offer our clients a premium service with an extensive range of resin bound driveway paving styles and designs to suit any property type or style. Our driveways can be created in a variety of colour options and we even offer bespoke colour matching too.

A resin bound pathway offers an aesthetically pleasing finish and can be designed with different binding styles and aggregates. This enables the client to choose the look that suits their property best. Resin driveways could even save you money on your energy bills! The dark tone creates a heat sink effect meaning that homes will not lose valuable heat through the paving which helps lower fuel expenses! The driveway can also have integrated car parking spaces which increase the overall value of your property.

​How to clean Resin Driveways

Resin driveways are easy to maintain, and can be cleaned with a soft brush or pressure washer. Driveways should be swept regularly to prevent any debris being trapped in the surface which would make it harder to clean. If you have pets, you can use water & vinegar on a cloth to wipe down after they've been out. Resin driveways look great all year round and we feel that they offer a very unique alternative to tarmac and block paving and as such, many people choose these types of surfaces for their driveway because. Resin driveways do not need to be sealed or resealed so they are easier to maintain than traditional concrete. If you notice any debris stuck in the surface, clean it off with a bristle broom and some warm water. Because resin is porous, dirt and other particles can get trapped within the material over time. A simple rinse will remove that build up without damaging your new resin driveway.

Resin Bound Driveway Ground Preparation

In order to carry out a strong and long lasting resin bound surface, professional preparation of the ground before resurfacing is needed. This will include removing all moss and weeds using a weed killer, then scarifying the area by going over it with flattened metal blades mounted into a mower conditioner machine up to 4 times in order to prepare the surface. This will break down the top layer of soil, which is vital in order to produce a porous base for resin bound surfaces to be applied to. Before applying the resin spray, it is important to check that your aggregate material used is suitable for being sprayed with resin. Aggregate materials that are not made from limestone should not be used as they may have highly variable optical properties and different thermal expansion coefficients, which in turn would lead to cracking within a short period of time after application. A mixture containing 5% lime is added in place of aggregates if required.

When the resin is set it creates a strong surface suitable for vehicles to use as access to gardens or garages - offering extra security for storage spaces. For those looking to create a driveway from scratch this method is an excellent choice as it can be installed at any time of year and will be ready in no time at all. We offer a complete installation service, providing the labour and materials required to get your new resin bound surfaces laid quickly and efficiently. As usual prices vary dependent on location, driveway size and specification, but this will be planned, quoted and discussed before application of your new resin-bound driveway surface.

What is the difference between a resin bound and resin bonded driveway

A resin bound driveway is a mixture of stone aggregate and a clear UV stable polyurethane resin that is combined together to form a strong, durable surface. This type of driveway offers a smooth surface with little or no loose aggregate, making it ideal for areas where vehicles or pedestrians require minimal disruption. The installation process involves mixing the resin with a hardener before pouring it onto the ground and allowing it to set.

In contrast, a resin bonded driveway uses an adhesive instead of the polyurethane resin used for resin-bound driveways. A thin layer of bonding agent is applied to the existing substrate such as concrete, asphalt or soil before stones are scattered across the area and left to dry into place. Unlike a resin bound driveway, a resin bonded surface does not require curing and can be used immediately.

Resin-bound driveways are more durable than their resin-bonded counterparts, making them better suited for high-traffic areas such as driveways or pathways. The installation process is also simpler in that it involves mixing the binder with aggregate and applying it directly to the ground rather than having to apply an adhesive first. This means that they are typically quicker and cheaper to install too.

Is Resin Bound permeable and SuDS compliant?

Yes, resin-bound paving is permeable and SuDS compliant. This makes it an ideal choice for a driveway or patio area since it allows water to pass through the surface without pooling on top of it. It also has a porous structure that can help reduce local flooding by controlling runoff and reducing pollutants in waterways. The aggregate particles used in resin bound are also specially selected to ensure they won't block up drainage systems, meaning that the surface is SuDS compliant and can be used in residential areas. So if you're looking for a permeable driveway or patio surface then resin-bound paving could be the perfect solution. With its low maintenance requirements and long-lasting durability, it's a great choice for any outdoor space.

Resin-bound paving is a popular choice for residential driveways and patios, but it also has many commercial applications such as pedestrian pathways, playgrounds, and car parks. Regardless of the application, resin-bound paving can provide a safe, attractive, and low-maintenance surface that will stand up to heavy traffic for many years.

But what makes resin-bound paving so special and why is it such a great choice? One of the main benefits is that it is permeable and complies with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations, which require all surfaces to allow water to soak into the ground rather than run off into drainage systems. This means that water doesn’t pool on the surface, reducing the risk of flooding. It also helps to reduce pollutants entering nearby water sources, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

The permeability of resin-bound paving makes it a great option for areas that are prone to heavy rainfall and flooding, as the water is able to drain away easily without pooling on the surface. As it’s porous, water can quickly and easily seep into the ground below, which helps to reduce pressure on drainage systems. It also helps to prevent pollutants from entering nearby waterways, as they are filtered out by the soil beneath.
