How Much Does a Resin Bound Driveway Cost?
A resin bound driveway typically costs between £45 and £70 per m². Prices vary depending on the complexity of the design, the size of the area, and the type of aggregate used.
For example, premium aggregates such as marble may increase costs, while standard options like gravel are more economical. Additionally, the choice of UV-stable resins can influence pricing, as they prevent discolouration over time, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the driveway.
Thicker installations or those requiring additional groundwork, such as excavation or drainage improvements, may fall at the higher end of the spectrum. These factors ensure the driveway remains durable and functional under various weather conditions, minimising maintenance and repair needs.

How Long Does a Resin Bound Driveway Last?
A well-installed resin bound driveway from Driveways in Maidstone can last over 20 years, depending on use and maintenance. Our driveways are crafted using a blend of natural aggregates and UV-stable resins, which help maintain colour and prevent fading over time.
Factors such as traffic load and exposure to extensive sun or rain can affect lifespan, so it's important to choose the right grade of materials for your needs.
Regular maintenance includes power washing to remove dirt and algae build-up and inspecting the surface for any signs of wear or damage. We recommend conducting these checks at least twice a year to identify issues early.
Timely repairs, such as filling in minor cracks, also further extend its durability. By following these care recommendations, you can significantly enhance the longevity and appearance of your resin bound driveway.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Resin Bound Driveway?
Generally, resin bound driveways do not require planning permission if they are permeable. This means they allow water to drain through naturally, complying with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations.
Our resin bound surfaces use a combination of natural aggregates and specialist resin to create a porous structure that effectively manages rainfall and stormwater. In terms of specific measurements, the surface should have a porosity that enables at least 50 litres per second per hectare of water to filter through.
However, the size of the project can influence requirements: driveways larger than five square metres that do not meet permeability standards may need permission. Consult with local planning offices to ensure compliance with specific zoning and environmental regulations applicable.
Always check with your local authority if you are unsure about specific requirements for your area.
