Resin Driveway Benefits for Derby Homeowners
Lifespan
As the most premium driveway surfacing solution, resin is the longest lasting option on the market. It's not uncommon to see one of these projects last for 30 years or more.
Colours & Designs
We have connections with all suppliers in Derbyshire, so over 300 colours are available to us. We also have several edging options and extras such as lighting, recessed manhole covers, or dropped kerbs.
Zero Maintenance
This is the absolute closest you will get to 100% maintenance free. No weed growth, no moss, no fading, porous surface, everything is there to get rid of dreaded maintenance. A simple power wash every now and then is more than enough, and sometimes not required.
Environmentally Friendly
No natural resources are used for resin driveways, everything is recycled and recyclable. The permeability also adds to the eco-friendliness by aiding with drainage and avoiding water run-off/flooding.
House Value
A resin driveway can easily increase the value of your home if the previous surface was something like gravel or broken concrete.
Safety
Resin is anti-slip and anti-frost. This anti-slip helps massively with health & safety, because it avoids people slipping on the driveway and hurting themselves. Furthermore, ice and frost are very unlikely to build up thanks to the porous nature of the product.
Our Exact Driveway Process
YOUR FIRST CONTACT
You can contact us via our website or one of our social media accounts, and we will try to get back to you within a day.
NO COST HOME VISIT
For every job enquiry, we conduct a comprehensive home visit that includes measurements, a groundwork assessment, a product rundown, and a written quote.
CONTRACT
If you accept our quote, you will receive a detailed floor plan that includes all of the work that will be done on the property, making sure that every detail is discussed and decided upon.
PREPARATION WORK
We take the preparation stage very seriously because it is crucial, especially for resin bound. A long-lasting result requires the right base and sub-base. This is also the most costly step in the process, which is why some businesses don't finish it to the highest standards. To make sure everything is done correctly and is long-lasting, we take our time on this phase.
COMPLETE SURFACE
We can begin installing the resin-bound surface as soon as the site is ready. This entails mixing the aggregate and resin at incredibly precise times and amounts. To ensure that mixes are installed right away, we make sure everything is meticulously planned. Additionally, in order to prevent unsightly "joins" and to ensure that we never run out of resin or aggregate midway through the job, we slightly overorder.
DRYING TIME
We recommend waiting at least 72 hours—ideally more like five days—before driving on a new resin surface. It is critical to adhere to these drying times; otherwise, you risk running into driveway issues soon. After 12 hours, light foot traffic is fine on resin.

FAQs - Resin Driveways
What is a resin driveway?
Resin driveways are created from recycled products and they are the most durable and eco-friendly driveway option on the market. They last a long time due to the high-spec base build and strength of the resin itself.
What's the difference between resin and tarmac?
Resin is a higher specification product, the base build up is thicker, the product itself is more visually appealing, and it will often wear better over time compared to tarmac. Tarmac is a more cost-effective option which won't last quite as long or look as good, but it also costs approximately 30-40% less compared to resin.
Can water go through resin driveways?
Yes, resin driveways are completely permeable by nature, they allow the water to drain through very rapidly (even quicker than through turf or gravel). This also means the base and sub-base are permeable, hence why permeable concrete or tarmac is the most suitable base for resin.
How long does a resin driveway last?
With adequate installation and high-quality products, resin driveways can last 30 years or more.
