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 Herne Bay we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. In and around Herne Bay, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Kent, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in Herne Bay
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 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.
