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 Newcastle upon Tyne says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Newcastle upon Tyne has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
Projects we quote in and around Newcastle upon Tyne include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bonded driveways.

Planning in Newcastle upon Tyne
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 North East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Tyne and Wear, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
