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 Caernarfon 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. Around Caernarfon, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Caernarfon include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Caernarfon
Labour and material costs in North Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 56 m² drive in the LL55 area would be around £2,300–£3,550 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,800–£6,100 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £40–£110 per m² |
| Driveway edging and borders | £25–£55 per linear metre |
| Driveway extensions and widening | £70–£110 per m² |

Planning in Caernarfon
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
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Gwynedd, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
