What resin bound driveways involve
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.
In Carmarthen, as anywhere, the base is the part that decides how long a resin surface lasts. The survey settles whether we overlay, repair or rebuild it. Plots around Carmarthen are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Carmarthen include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Carmarthen

Planning in Carmarthen
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
