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.
In Blackwood, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. In and around Blackwood, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Blackwood include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Blackwood
Prices in South Wales are below the UK average. These are guide ranges including VAT; your quote follows a free survey.
Worked example: a 60 m² drive in Blackwood laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,850–£2,950. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £3,450–£5,350.

Planning in Blackwood
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Blackwood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
