Resin bound driveways across Gloucestershire
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.
Resin bound is the system most people mean when they ask for a resin driveway. The aggregate and resin are weighed, mixed on site in a forced-action mixer, then spread and finished with steel trowels in one continuous pour, so there are no joints for weeds to root in.
Projects we quote in and around Gloucester include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.

Resin bound driveways: £50–£130 per m².
Worked example: a 58 m² drive in Gloucestershire laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,800–£4,350. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,650–£7,450.
Planning in Gloucestershire
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. Laying days in Gloucester are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
