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 Hemel Hempstead we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Hemel Hempstead range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Projects we quote in and around Hemel Hempstead include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Hemel Hempstead
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Hemel Hempstead jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
