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 Poole says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Poole, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Projects we quote in and around Poole include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Poole
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 24 m² drive in Poole laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,050–£1,600. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £1,900–£2,950.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |

| Driveway edging and borders | £25–£65 per linear metre |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Poole
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
