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.
Before quoting in Llanelli we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Llanelli mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Dyfed, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Llanelli
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. Laying days in Llanelli are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
