Resin bonded driveways across County Armagh
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
The finish looks like a gravel drive but behaves more like a sealed surface. It has excellent grip, which is why it is used on ramps, steep drives and the approaches to junctions, but it is impermeable, so water has to be managed with falls and drainage.
Projects we quote in and around Craigavon include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts.
Prices in County Armagh
Labour and material costs in Northern Ireland run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.

For a 29 m² drive in County Armagh: about £900–£1,400 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £1,650–£2,550 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.
Planning in County Armagh
Northern Ireland has its own permitted development order for houses, with conditions on hard surfaces and drainage: the simplest route is a surface that keeps rainwater within your boundary. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply it is worth checking with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
