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 Folkestone says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Folkestone have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Folkestone include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Folkestone
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Kent, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
