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 Hythe we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Around Hythe, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in Hythe include building a fully permeable drive on a front garden, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Hythe
Labour and material costs in the South East run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 49 m² drive in the SO45 area would be around £2,450–£3,850 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,100–£6,600 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Hythe
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
