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 Caernarfon says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Around Caernarfon, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Projects we quote in and around Caernarfon include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Caernarfon
For North Wales, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 40 m² drive in Caernarfon laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,250–£2,000. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,350–£3,650.

Planning in Caernarfon
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
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
