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 Harrogate says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Drives in Harrogate range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Harrogate we can price work such as overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Harrogate
Labour and material costs in Yorkshire and the Humber run a little below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 71 m² drive in the HG1 area would be around £2,300–£3,650 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,300–£6,600 with a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Harrogate
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
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in North Yorkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
