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.
Any resin job in Blackwood starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Plots around Blackwood are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Gwent, the projects we price include framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Blackwood
For South Wales, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Worked example: a 28 m² drive in Blackwood laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,100–£1,750. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £1,850–£3,000.

| Resin bound driveways | £40–£105 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £65–£105 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £45–£125 per m² |

Planning in Blackwood
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
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
