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 Welwyn Garden City says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Welwyn Garden City mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Welwyn Garden City 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.

Planning in Welwyn Garden City
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 of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
