Resin bound driveways across Devon
A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.
Because the stones are bound together rather than stuck on top, the surface is porous. Laid over a permeable base, water passes through it rather than running off onto the road, which is why resin bound can usually be laid across a front garden without planning permission in England.
Projects we quote in and around Plymouth include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Devon
Guide prices for Devon are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin bound driveways: £50–£130 per m².
For a 69 m² drive in Devon: about £3,300–£5,150 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £5,550–£8,850 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Devon
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
