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 Maidstone we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Maidstone, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Typical projects we can quote for in Maidstone include overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Maidstone
Guide prices for Maidstone are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 28 m² drive in Maidstone: about £1,400–£2,200 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £2,350–£3,750 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Maidstone
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. Laying days in Maidstone are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
