What Makes a Resin Bound Driveway Different?
A resin bound driveway is a modern, durable surface made by blending natural stone aggregate with a specialist UV-stable resin. Each mix is hand-trowelled on site to create a smooth, strong and fully permeable finish — with no loose stones, puddles or cracks.
It’s one of the fastest-growing home improvement options in the UK and is perfect for upgrading tired concrete, tarmac or block paving.
Permeable & SUDS Compliant 🌧
Rainwater drains naturally through the surface — no pooling, flooding or standing water.
UV Stable & Colour-Fast🌞
The resin we use is UV protected, meaning it won’t fade, yellow or dull over time.
Seamless & Weed Resistant🌿
No joints, cracks or gaps for weeds to find their way through just a clean, smooth finish.
Slip Resistant Surface🚶
Ideal for driveways, paths and patios — safe in wet weather and easy underfoot.
Low Maintenance 🧼
A quick wash and sweep occasionally is all it needs to stay looking like new.
How a resin drive is done
Transforming your drive experience can be intimidating, but our 6-step process ensures everything goes seamlessly and smoothly. From preparation to execution, we've got you covered every step of the way. Embrace the journey with confidence, knowing that each phase is designed to make the process easier for you. Let’s get started on making your drive a breeze!
1️⃣ Free Site Survey & Quote
We measure your driveway, assess drainage and help you choose colours and block edging for the perfect finish.
4️⃣ Permeable Concrete Layer
A no-fines permeable concrete base is installed.
This allows water to drain naturally and provides the perfect foundation for resin.
2️⃣ Ground Excavation & Sub-Base
We remove the existing surface and install a compacted MOT Type 1 clean stone sub-base for long-term stability.
5️⃣ Resin Bound Surface Laid
Natural stone aggregate is mixed with UV-stable resin on-site and hand-trowelled smoothly for a seamless, durable finish.
3️⃣ Block Edging Installed
Strong block edging is laid to define the shape of your driveway and protect the resin we never use aluminium edging.
6️⃣ Curing & Final Sign-Off
Walkable usually by the next day — vehicles must stay off for a minimum of 3 days to allow full curing.
We clean up, check every detail and make sure you’re 100% happy before completion.
Michael Thompson — Gosforth
“Plumtree did an unbelievable job on our resin driveway. The team turned up on time every day, kept everything tidy and the finish is perfect. We’ve had compliments from neighbours non-stop. Worth every penny.”
Sarah Patel — Whickham
“We’re over the moon with our new resin driveway. From the first quote to the final clean-up, the communication and workmanship were spot on. It’s completely transformed the front of our house — highly recommend!”
The Anderson Family — North Shields
“Can’t praise Plumtree enough. The old paving was a trip hazard and constantly full of weeds. The new resin surface looks stunning, drains properly and is so easy to maintain. Friendly lads and quality workmanship.”
