The Cost of a New Resin Bound Driveway 2023

How much does a Resin Bound Driveway cost?

Resin-bound driveways are a great option for homeowners in the United Kingdom who want a durable, long-lasting driveway that requires minimal upkeep. But how much do they cost?

We’ve done the research for you and we’ve got some great news: resin bound driveways are more affordable than ever before!

In this blog, we’ll break down the factors that go into calculating the cost of a resin bound driveway, as well as some things you can do to keep costs down. Read on to find out more…

What is a resin bound driveway?

A resin bound driveway is made up of aggregate (small stones or gravel) that’s mixed with a resin binder. This creates a strong, flexible surface that’s typically made from asphalt or cement and then overlaid with stone chippings.

Resin-bonded surfaces are often used instead of tarmac or concrete because they’re less expensive—and they’re much easier to install than other types of paving materials. This makes them ideal for DIYers looking to save money on their home improvement projects but whilst they are ‘easier’ to install, our advice would be to leave it to the experts!

They’re sometimes “known as ‘stone carpet’. The seamless finish provides a decorative bound gravel surface that’s attractive, durable, and practical”, according to resinbondedaggregates.com.

Cost Factors

The cost of a resin bound driveway is dependent on several factors, including the size and layout of your property.

If you’re building a new house from scratch, you’ll need to factor in the cost of materials and labour, as well as any permits required for construction.

However, if you’re simply looking to replace an existing driveway, then all you’ll need to do is hire someone to complete the job.

Location

Depending on where you are in the UK the cost of a resin bound driveway will vary significantly.

Checkatrade suggests that the cost will be between £70 per m2 to £180 per m2; and will depend on whether a new sub-base, resin bound driveway, or both a new sub-base and resin bound driveway is required.

The more expensive areas tend to be around London and other major cities. If, however, you live in a less expensive area, then your overall costs will be lower.

Area

Another factor that will impact the cost of your resin bound driveway is the size and shape of the driveway.

An average straight forward two car driveway at the front of your home, for example, will cost far less than a driveway with a turning circle for a country house.

The bigger the driveway the lower the cost per m2, but the overall cost will be higher due to the additional materials, time and labour involved in the installation.

Resin Colour & Material

One of the great things about resin bound driveways is that they’re available in a wide range of colours. It’s important to note though, that the colour you chose could increase the cost of your driveway project, not all colours are easy to source.

The aggregate used in resin bound driveways is also available in a range of sizes, between 1mm and 6mm, with prices ranging from £4.98 per 25kg (ex VAT) to £9.51 per 25kg (ex VAT). Prices correct at the time of writing.
