Resin bonded driveways across West Yorkshire
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.
Because only one layer of stone is held, some stones will come loose over the first months and the surface is less forgiving of heavy turning. That is the trade-off for a lower price per square metre.
Typical projects we can quote for in Leeds include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in West Yorkshire
For Yorkshire and the Humber, where typical costs are a little below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bonded driveways: £35–£95 per m².
Worked example: a 32 m² drive in West Yorkshire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,050–£1,650. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £1,950–£3,000.
Planning in West Yorkshire
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.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
