HOW LONG DO RESIN DRIVEWAYS LAST?

Resin driveways are an excellent option for homeowners that need a new driveway. Resin driveways have become very popular over the past decade. Resin is very durable, and it has been estimated that resin bound driveways can last from 25 to 50 years without the need for replacement.

One significant advantage of resin bound driveways is that they are pre-made and delivered to the construction site to be installed. As a result, it is easy and quick to install, and they require very little maintenance to keep them looking good over the years.

Another big advantage is that resin has a smooth, high gloss finish, making these driveways look very beautiful when first installed. The resin will stay looking pretty and glossy for a long time.

Resin driveways are also very inexpensive. Concrete can be more expensive because it needs a base that is poured first, which is not required in resin bound driveways. On top of this, asphalt can require costly repairs every few years, whereas resin bonded driveways are much more durable. It won't need any major repairs or replacement costs.

This type of driveway is also very easy to clean because the resin has a waterproof surface, so it won't absorb any water. This means that anything from the car tires to leaves and other debris will simply roll off the resin-bound driveway, making cleaning up a breeze.

Resin Driveway FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Is a resin driveway cheaper than block paving?

    With the increasing popularity of resin driveways over traditional surfaces, people naturally begin to wonder which type is cheaper.


    First, you must understand the difference between resin driveways and block paving.


    In short, a resin driveway consists of a series of pre-formed stepping stones. Each stone is made of plastic and can be in one or two colours. A resin driveway does not involve using any soil, unlike block paving which requires excavation.


    To have a resin driveway installed, each stepping stone is fixed onto a bed of sand and then joined together with adhesive joints. These resin driveways can be installed in various shapes and sizes.


    • A resin driveway is cheaper than block paving because it requires less material and labour.
    • A resin driveway will also not require the use of a skip, which is a significant saving on waste disposal costs compared to traditional block paving.
    • A resin driveway is an easier DIY job than traditional block paving as it does not require heavy machinery such as a compactor.
    • Resin driveways are also less likely to crack and don't require repairs, making them a more durable surface than block paving.
    • Resin driveways can also be installed in various shapes and sizes to suit individual needs, unlike block paving which is more standardised.
    • Resin driveways are also far quicker to install than traditional surfaces, saving time and additional labour costs.

  • Do resin driveways need planning permission?

    Does a resin driveway need planning permission? The simple answer is no; a resin driveway does not need planning permission. Even though it may be a permanent fixture in your garden, it does not need planning permission.


    A resin driveway is gaining more and more popularity. Also known as a fibre-reinforced driveway, resin driveways are made of 100% recycled tyres and resin, making it a very environmentally friendly product and very strong.


    There is no limit to the designs you can choose for your resin driveway, making it perfect for any home or garden. They can be made to look like stone or brick; however, some homeowners prefer to keep it simple and choose a black resin driveway.

  • Can you pressure wash a resin driveway?

    The short answer is yes; you can jet wash a resin surface such as a resin bound driveway or patio. Jet washing a resin driveway should be done regularly on the surface. This will remove dirt and debris from the surface of the resin, helping to keep the resin looking great.

  • What are the pros and cons of a resin driveway?

    A resin driveway is an excellent alternative to concrete as it sits on top of manageable gravel and can be laid down in layers like carpet. It is often used to create an instant driveway over top of the grass, but may also be laid down on tarmac or other surfaces.


    Resin driveways have several pros, including the following:


    • They are good at draining water away from an existing surface below. Therefore, if you have a problematic area on a driveway, such as damp or floodwater, resin driveways make for a good choice of surface.
    • The resin used to lay the driveway will not be damaged by frost, meaning it can be used for access even in winter.
    • Resin driveways are fairly simple to lay down and can be done by a DIY enthusiast with patience and a home kit.
    • Resin driveways are resistant to fires and fire damage, making them a good option for your driveway if you spend time in the garden or have an outdoor fireplace. 
    • They are not expensive to lay down and can be a cost-effective alternative to a viable, temporary driveway solution.

  • Is resin cheaper than tarmac?

    Tarmac and resin are comparable in terms of cost. Many factors contribute to the final price of a resin driveway installation. These include:


    • The size of your driveway
    • Whether or not you are having drainage installed as part of the installation
    • Any decorative features, such as resin dipped aggregate.
    • The location where you live, to take into account the distance that resin driveways have to travel before installation can begin 

    Tarmac may be the better option if you're on a budget, as it is typically the cheaper of the two. But if you're looking to make a statement with your driveway, resin is the better choice. Tarmac cannot compete with resin's ability to provide endless colour and design.
