Resin Bound Driveways In Norwich

In Norwich we have built up years of experience in resin driveways, including resin patios, resin pathways and modern resin driveways, all of which have been carried out with the precisio
n and expertise for which we’re known.

Choosing a resin bound surface allows you to create a completely bespoke outdoor area that is eye-catching and unique to your property. With more than 40 different natural aggregates, and a variety of colours and patterns to choose from, we are happy to help advise on design and finish, and our quotes are free with no obligation. When it comes to installation we aim to complete within a single day, which isn’t achievable with traditional block paving or other such techniques.

There is no loose stone in resin bound surfaces because the process uses natural aggregate and clear resin, mixed together and hand trowelled, giving a precise finish. Resin driveways also make for a very low maintenance surface with great benefits, including being durable and strong, with an anti-slip surface and attractive finish. Resin bound driveways are also popular because of their eco-friendly properties. As they are 100 percent porous, they are self-draining, which is a process that eliminates hazardous surface water. Refresh your property’s entryway with an elegant and robust driveway in Norwich, customised to align with your preferences and boost kerb appeal. If you want to transform your driveway in Norwich, our resin driveways paving services offer a stylish and long-lasting solution that will enhance the curb appeal of your property.

When it comes to driveway contractors in Norwich, our professional team stands out with their expertise, delivering high-quality installations and exceptional customer service for all your driveway needs.

We can apply a resin surface directly on top of almost any hard surface, including asphalt, tarmac, patio slabs, block paving and concrete, providing that their condition is good. By leaving the existing surface in place, and opting for a resin overlay system, you will save on the costs associated with removing a hard-landscaped surface. So it’s an economic option too.

Resin driveways, paths & patios process

In terms of process, the first thing we would do for you is inspect and repair your existing surface where needed, before power-washing it, removing all the surface dirt and any moss build up, ahead of the transformation of your outdoor space. Bringing the surface up to this condition means that the resin will immediately form a strong bond. If we can’t directly apply on top of your existing surface, we can cover the excavation and groundworks for you. During installation, the aggregate stone is hand-trowelled by one of our highly trained staff to form a strong and smooth finish. When it comes to edging, we offer a number of options and can also advise on things such as manhole covers, which are not a problem. The edging isn’t just reserved for the outside of your resin driveway, it can serve as a divide between any colours and patterns that you choose. All that’s needed to remove any bird droppings or mud is the odd light power-wash to keep your resin driveway looking as smart as the day we lay it. Where wet weather conditions and airborne seeds cause weeds to germinate on the top of the surface, weed killer is also fine to use up to twice a year. The only thing that we would strongly advise against is washing your car when it is parked on your resin bound driveway, as most car cleaning chemicals contain solvents that break down the resin hardener. Experience the transformation of your outdoor spaces with a new resin bound driveway or resin patio designed for both longevity and visual appeal.

Why choose a resin bound driveway?

Resin bound driveways bring the perfect blend of style, durability and practicality to Norwich properties. The smooth, stone-bound finish offers outstanding kerb appeal without the maintenance headaches you’d associate with loose gravel or the plain look of standard tarmac. Because the resin matrix locks the aggregate in place, you get a neat, consistent surface that’s easy to live with day-to-day.

For our changing Norfolk weather, a resin bound system is an excellent choice. It’s fully permeable when laid on a suitable base, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the surface rather than pooling or running off into the street. That helps with compliance to SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) guidance and reduces the need for extra drainage on many domestic installs.

With Driveline Surfacing, you’ll get a driveway that’s designed around your home. Choose from a wide range of natural stone blends and borders to complement period homes, modern builds or rural properties. Our in-house team handles everything: groundworks, edging, resin laying and finishing. We provide free on-site advice and quotations, and every install is fully guaranteed.

In short, resin driveways Norwich homeowners love are those that look sharp, handle daily use with ease, and stay tidy for years. Resin bound ticks those boxes. Whether you need to replace an old drive, tie into existing paths, or create a new courtyard, we’ll help you design a surface that’s practical, attractive and built to last.

Resin bound vs resin bonded: what’s the difference?

It’s easy to confuse the two, but they’re not the same:

• Resin bound: Aggregate is mixed through the resin and laid as a single, smooth, permeable layer. No loose stones, great durability, SuDS-friendly.
• Resin bonded: Resin is spread on the base and aggregate is scattered on top. It looks textured, but isn’t permeable and can shed loose stones over time.

For most residential driveways, paths and courtyards, resin bound is the recommended option.

Practical advantages: permeable, durable, low-maintenance

• Permeable: Water drains through the surface, helping reduce puddles and runoff.
• Durable: UV-stable resin and quality aggregates resist wear, cracking and colour fade.
• Low-maintenance: No weeds pushing through like block joints, no loose stones to sweep up.
• Smooth, safe finish: Comfortable underfoot and friendly to tyres, bikes and prams.
• Customisable: Colour blends, borders and edges to suit any Norwich property style.

Best use cases: driveways, paths, courtyards

Resin bound works brilliantly for:

• Driveways: Single or double, straight or sweeping, including shared access.
• Paths & walkways: Smooth, slip-resistant routes around the garden.
• Courtyards & patios: Clean, modern look with minimal maintenance.
• Commercial entrances: Smart, professional finishes for offices and retail.

If you’re comparing resin bound driveways Norwich residents rely on, consider how well they tie together your frontage, parking and pathways — resin bound excels at providing a cohesive look.

Base preparation & groundworks

A resin bound surface is only as good as its base. Our team:

• Excavates to the correct depth and disposes of waste responsibly.
• Installs edges/kerbs for clean lines and structural support.
• Builds the sub-base (typically Type 1 or open-graded) for load-bearing stability.
• Creates or confirms drainage solutions (SuDS-compliant where applicable).
• Applies the base layer (often asphalt or concrete, depending on specification).

Good groundworks ensure longevity. We pay close attention to falls and levels so water finds the right path, not your garage.

Mixing, laying & finishing the resin bound surface

• Accurate batching: We mix UV-stable resin with chosen aggregates to a precise ratio.
• Consistent laying: The blend is floated to a uniform thickness for a smooth finish.
• Detailing: We integrate borders, motifs or contrasting bands where required.
• Quality control: Our crew checks texture, levels and joins as we go.

Curing time, site tidy-up & handover

• Curing: Most resin bound installations are ready for foot traffic within 6–8 hours and vehicles after 24–48 hours (weather dependent).
• Clean down: We leave your property tidy, removing all waste and barriers.
• Handover: You’ll get care advice, warranty details and our contact for aftercare.

Design options & technical specs

Every resin driveway is designed around your property and how you use it. With Driveline Surfacing, you can fine-tune aesthetics, edges and performance features so the end result fits seamlessly.

Colour blends & finishes

Choose from a curated palette of natural stone blends:

• Warm golds and honey tones for period homes
• Cool greys and silvers for modern builds
• Rustic browns for rural settings and barns
• Mixed aggregates for subtle texture and visual interest

We can provide samples and show you completed resin bound driveways Norwich homeowners have chosen in similar styles.

Edging, kerbs, and steps

Finish your driveway with:

• Aluminium or steel edges for slim, contemporary lines
• Stone or concrete kerbs for traditional framing
• Brick paver borders to match existing pathways
• Integrated steps and risers with contrasting nosings for visibility

Thoughtful edging protects the surface, sharpens the look and helps keep the resin bound layer perfectly contained.

Drainage and SuDS compliance

Resin bound surfaces are permeable when laid over an open-graded base, supporting SuDS principles. We’ll:

• Assess natural falls and infiltration rates
• Recommend open-graded sub-base constructions where suitable
• Integrate linear drains or soakaways if needed
• Advise on planning considerations for larger areas

Our goal is to manage water intelligently so your driveway stays usable in all weather.

UV-stable resins and aggregate choices

We use UV-stable resin systems to minimise yellowing or colour shift over time. Aggregates are:

• Sourced for consistent size and durability
• Washed and dried for optimal bonding
• Selected to provide the right texture, tone and slip resistance

This combination delivers a surface that keeps its colour and integrity for years.

Accessibility and slip resistance

Resin bound is naturally smooth yet can be tailored for grip:

• Balanced texture for comfortable walking, cycling and wheelchair access
• Slip-resistant specification for slopes and high-traffic areas
• Flush thresholds at doorways and garages
• Clear visual borders to aid navigation and safety

We’ll design with accessibility in mind so your driveway is safe and welcoming for everyone.
