What resin bonded driveways involve
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.
Any quote we prepare in Chesterfield says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Chesterfield has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges.
Typical projects we can quote for in Chesterfield include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Chesterfield

Planning in Chesterfield
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. Laying days in Chesterfield are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
