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 York 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 York range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Typical projects we can quote for in York include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.

Planning in York
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
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
