Resin bound drives laid by a local team
A resin bound driveway is a mix of dried natural aggregate and clear resin, trowelled by hand into a smooth, seamless surface. Water drains straight through it, there are no loose stones to kick about, and it suits both modern and traditional houses.
Resin is a thin wearing layer, so it relies completely on the base beneath it. We either lay it over sound existing tarmac or concrete, or dig out and build a new base first.

What is the difference between resin bound and resin bonded?
Resin bound
Stone is fully mixed with resin and trowelled smooth. It is permeable and has no loose stones, which is why we recommend it for drives.
Resin bonded
Resin is spread on the base and loose stone scattered over it. It has a gravelly texture but is not permeable and can shed stones over time.
Choosing a blend
Aggregates come in many natural colours. We bring samples so you can see them against your brickwork in daylight.
Why choose Nice & Tidy
Why choose us for a resin bound drive
Most resin failures come down to a poor base or rushed mixing. We prepare properly and only lay in suitable weather.
Honest base survey
If your old surface is not sound enough, we tell you rather than resin over the problem.
Weather-aware laying
Resin needs dry conditions, so we plan the laying day around the forecast.
Careful mixing
Measured batches give a consistent colour and strength across the drive.

How we carry out the work
How we lay a resin bound driveway
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Check the base
We test the existing tarmac or concrete for cracks, movement and drainage, or dig out where it is not suitable.
Prepare and edge
A new base is laid where needed, edging fixed, and covers, doors and walls protected.
Mix and trowel
Aggregate and resin are mixed in measured batches and trowelled to an even depth across the whole area.
Cure and finish
The surface is left to cure, which depends on the temperature, and we tell you when it is ready to walk and drive on.
