Resin bonded driveways across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
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.
The finish looks like a gravel drive but behaves more like a sealed surface. It has excellent grip, which is why it is used on ramps, steep drives and the approaches to junctions, but it is impermeable, so water has to be managed with falls and drainage.
In Paisley 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.
Prices in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde

Resin bonded driveways: £30–£90 per m².

Planning in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
