Why do homeowners choose resin bound driveways?
Generally, homeowners tend to choose resin bound driveways for a variety of practical and aesthetic reasons. In this article we explore with our customers what drives their decision to choose a resin bound driveway or patio for their outside spaces. Here are the main reasons given by our customers -
Aesthetic Appeal & Customisation
Stunning Visuals
Resin bound surfaces offer a seamless, smooth, and high-end look that instantly elevates the curb appeal of a property. They don't have the unevenness or loose stones of traditional gravel, or the starkness of plain concrete.
Vast Colour & Texture Choices
Homeowners enjoy the flexibility to choose from a wide range of. natural and recycled aggregates with over 40 colours available. Therefore, allowing them to perfectly match their home's exterior, landscaping, or personal style. For example, this versatility allows for both traditional and modern designs, including bespoke patterns or borders.
Durability & Longevity
Built to Last
When installed correctly on a suitable sub-base, such as concrete or tarmac, resin bound driveways are incredibly robust and long-lasting. Although, professional installation is required as poor installation can lead to premature wear or drainage issues. Additionally, they are designed to withstand heavy loads from vehicles and regular foot traffic.
Weather Resistance
The high-quality resin we use is UV-stable, meaning it won't fade, crack, or deteriorate under prolonged sun exposure, frost, or heavy rain. Unlike concrete, it's also resistant to oil and fuel spills.
Low Maintenance
Weed & Moss Resistant
The seamless nature of the surface prevents weeds and moss from growing through, eliminating one of the biggest maintenance headaches associated with block paving or gravel.
No Loose Stones
Unlike loose gravel, all aggregates are securely bound, meaning no stones get scattered into gardens, carried into the house, or damage vehicles.
Easy to Clean
Resin driveways are simple to keep clean, usually requiring just occasional sweeping or a light pressure wash to remove dirt and debris. They don't need regular resealing like some other materials.

Excellent Drainage
A significant benefit to our customers, especially in areas with high rainfall (like South Wales!) is the porous nature of resin bound systems. They allow water to drain naturally through the surface into the ground below, preventing puddles and reducing surface water run-off.
Environmentally Friendly
This permeability helps to manage rainwater run-off, reduces the strain on local drainage systems, and is often compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations, which can be a planning requirement for new driveways.
Safety
Anti-Slip Surface
The textured finish of resin bound provides excellent traction, making it a safer surface for walking and driving, even in wet conditions.
Smooth & Even
The absence of loose stones or uneven blocks reduces tripping hazards, making it safer for children, the elderly, and those with mobility challenges.
Increased Property Value
Resin bound driveways are a smart investment for homeowners looking for a stylish, durable, and low-maintenance surfacing solution. A well-installed, attractive, and functional resin bound driveway significantly enhances a property's curb appeal and adds 5-10% or more to its market value, making it a sound investment.
