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 Stroud we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Stroud range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Stroud include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Stroud
Labour and material costs in the South West run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Worked example: a 52 m² drive in Stroud laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £2,500–£3,900. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £4,150–£6,700.

Planning in Stroud
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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
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.
