Resin Bound Driveways in Andover, Newbury & Basingstoke

Resin bound is the driveway surface we get asked about most, mainly because it solves two things people care about at once: it looks smooth and contemporary, and it’s permeable, which increasingly matters for meeting drainage regulations on front gardens. We install resin bound driveways, paths and patios across Andover, Newbury and Basingstoke.

Resin bound vs resin bonded — worth knowing the difference

Resin bound mixes the aggregate and resin together before laying, giving a smooth, walkable, SUDS-compliant surface. Resin bonded scatters loose aggregate onto a resin layer, which looks similar at a glance but isn’t permeable and the stones can work loose over time, especially on driveways rather than paths. We only install resin bound for driveways for this reason.

Why the base layer matters even more with resin

A permeable sub-base (usually a permeable tarmac or a stone base) is essential, both for the surface to actually drain and for it to last — resin laid over an unsuitable base is the most common cause of cracking or the surface lifting within the first couple of years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?

Resin bound mixes aggregate and resin together for a smooth, permeable, walkable surface. Resin bonded scatters stone onto resin and isn’t permeable — we only recommend resin bound for driveways.

Is resin bound driveway permeable?

Yes, when installed correctly over a permeable sub-base, which is standard practice for us.

How long does a resin bound driveway last?

Well over a decade with proper installation over a suitable base — the base is the limiting factor, not the resin itself.

Does resin bound need much maintenance?

Very little — an occasional wash down and, if you’re in a heavily tree-lined spot, keeping leaves and debris off it before staining sets in.
