A resin bound driveway gives you a smooth, seamless finish that drains straight through, so there are no puddles, no loose stone and nothing to shovel back into place. Paddway Surfacing Solutions installs resin bound driveways, paths and steps across Retford, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire, with 17 years of surfacing expertise behind every job and a 3-year workmanship guarantee.
Resin bound driveways are formed by mixing natural aggregate with a clear resin and trowelling the blend onto a solid base to create a smooth, seamless, permeable surface. The stones are fully coated and locked together, so unlike loose gravel nothing kicks up, migrates or ends up in the road.
Because water drains through the surface rather than running off it, a resin bound driveway is naturally SuDS-friendly and helps meet the drainage rules that apply to many new driveways. The result is a hard-wearing resin driveway with a premium look and a wide choice of stone colours. Laid over the right base, it stays smooth and tight for years, which is why the preparation beneath it matters as much as the finish on top.
Resin bound is as much a design choice as a surface. The blend, colour and detailing are chosen to suit your home:
An extensive range of natural stone colours and mixes, from warm honey and gold tones to cool greys, so the drive complements the house and boundary.
We lay resin bound, where the stone is mixed through the resin for a smooth, permeable finish, rather than resin bonded, where loose stone is scattered onto glue for a rougher, non-permeable surface.
The same surface works beautifully on steps, paths and patios, and pairs neatly with stone risers, block borders or a solid edge.
Permeable build-ups, tree surrounds and channel detailing where a site needs to manage surface water properly.

I can't recommend Paddway Surfacing Solutions enough. Jamie was so easy to deal with, from the first consultation and listened to what we wanted. We had a tarmac driveway laid with a grey block paving border. The price was so reasonable and the job was well executed. Really pleased with the work.
Read more on GoogleNo puddles, and SuDS-friendlyWater drains through the surface instead of pooling or running off, which helps meet drainage requirements and keeps the drive usable in wet weather.
Smooth and seamlessNo loose stone, no joints and no trip lines, so it is easy to walk, wheel a pram or push a wheelchair across, and simple to sweep clean.
A premium look with real colour choiceThe blend is chosen to suit your home, giving a high-end finish that lifts the whole frontage.
Low maintenance and weed-resistantA fully bound surface gives weeds very little to take hold in, so upkeep is mostly an occasional wash down.

Resin bound needs a sound, clean base. We repair or lay a suitable tarmac or concrete base and set the falls so water carries away correctly.
The base is primed so the resin bonds properly and lasts, a step that is easy to skip and expensive to get wrong.
Stone and resin are mixed on site to the correct ratio and hand-trowelled to a smooth, even finish across the whole area.
The surface is left to cure, then checked over with you. Every driveway is backed by our 3-year workmanship guarantee.
With resin bound, the surface is only ever as good as the base it sits on. Laid over a sound, well-drained base a resin driveway holds up for 15 years or more, while one trowelled over a tired or crumbling base lifts and fails early. Because we assess, prepare and lay bases ourselves, we control the part that matters most.
Paddway lays tarmac, roads and drainage under a street works ticket, so the base beneath your resin is judged and built to the standard a road demands, a depth of capability few resin installers in the county can offer. We carry £1 million public liability insurance, a blue CSCS card and a street works ticket, so every job is carried out safely and to the correct standards, backed by a 3-year workmanship guarantee.
Resin bound at Paddway is laid by Jamie Robinson, the owner. Jamie started in surfacing at 20 and has 17 years in the trade, laying driveways, car parks and roads across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. He quotes and works the jobs himself, so the person who prices your drive is the specialist who lays it.
“Resin looks lovely the day it goes down. What decides whether it stays that way is the base underneath and the prep. Every base is assessed, repaired if it needs it, and primed correctly before a drop of resin is laid. That is where the experience earns its place.”Jamie Robinson, owner
