Several factors contribute towards permeable resin-bound surfacing being a more suitable option for your driveway.
Explore our page to find out more about why our fully permeable resin drives are for you:
Resin drive installations are a cost-effective way of improving your surface. It can be applied over the existing tarmac at a much cheaper price than what it would be to rip it up first.
Achieve an amazing, clean and professional look. Choose from various colours that can match your property and its surroundings to create an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Also, due to the material’s permeable nature, you do not need to request planning permission. Lastly, a stylish permeable resin-bound surface can increase your home’s overall value should you wish to sell in the future.
High-quality resin-bound surfaces are extremely durable. This is due to their composition of four layers. The top is a sealed natural aggregate that is resistant to extreme weather and high pressure, which can be caused by dropped items or heavy vehicles driving over it. Their composition also lets them keep their colour over the years. Read more about resin surface care and maintenance.
Our resin drives are available in a variety of colours. From dark tones like Twilight to warmer shades such as Devon Yellow at Ace Resin, we guarantee to have the colour for you.
To view our exclusive selection of resin colours, visit our colour chart page. If requested, we can offer a mix-and-match service. This will allow you to create a bespoke blend of coloured loose stones sealed with resin.
A permeable resin surface is porous, meaning it does not let puddles build up on your driveway, meaning no more wet feet. With this, you are also not impeding the growth of trees, so you can also help with your contribution to the environment.
Resin-bound surfacing is a revolutionary choice for modern outdoor spaces, offering a perfect blend of beauty, durability, and sustainability. Here’s why homeowners love it:
A permeabledriveway surface offers unique natural filtering of water as it seeps through the naturally sealed dried aggregate, down into the porous open surface asphalt and finally through the sub-base into the earth.
Avoid the common problem of conventional paving, whereby rainwater simply runs off into the local drainage system. The UK receives a significant amount of rainfall. Therefore our drains often become overwhelmed, resulting in blockages and street flooding.
With a permeable drive, the soil underneath absorbs any excess water naturally. This eco-friendly factor greatly reduces the risk of flooding.
Also, as rainfall filters through the resin-bound paving surface, the impurities are separated out, reducing the risk of water pollution.
The natural drainage power of permeable resin-bound surfaces is not the only attribute that helps the environment. We use a mixture of natural aggregates, recycled glass and reused marble. As we use a grid system to physically install the resin-bound gravel surface, this means it can be removed and used elsewhere for different purposes.
Compared to a heavy tarmac or concrete surface, resin-bound driveways do not require specialised high-tech machinery to be installed. Once the base layers have been laid down, the resin-bound aggregates are mixed on-site and laid with a hand trowel to ensure absolute precision of the highest quality with a smooth finish.

Get A QuoteDried aggregates are a hybrid mixture of rock, stone and mineral fragments that have been crushed to similar sizes. They can be decorative like our seashell design or plain black, depending on the finish you wish to achieve. At Ace Resin, we even offer glowing stones illuminating your drive every evening.
All of our aggregates are washed, cleaned and dried before use. This is essential for the crushed stone to achieve a strong bond with the resin solution. Our dried aggregates are of the highest quality and are sourced from the natural environment.
Despite this, we can still offer a wide range of colour choices. As our stones occur naturally, no colour pigments are required, meaning the colour of the aggregates will not fade over time.
We guarantee that our prices will always remain competitive. Our resin driveway installations are of the highest quality to create a stunning, durable surface to be proud of.
The average cost of a resin-bound driveway is £50-£100/per m², but every project we take on is always unique to our customers. We also have to factor in labour costs within our pricing.

Sustainable Urban Drainage System
Demands that only porous materials are used for both new build projects and when asked to re-lay existing areas. Our permeable driveways materials are 100% compliant with SUD’s regulations, therefore making them stand out when searching for a new surface to be laid.
General Cleaning
A resin-bound drive requires little maintenance. This greatly reduces the overall cost of a resin-bound system. Once it is laid, any spillages or stains you get on it can be easily removed using a jet washer.
Weed Removal
Resin surfacing is weed repellent, and the driveway is treated with weed repellent before installation of the resin-bound surface. However, weed seedlings can begin to appear due to seed dispersal from animals and winds. If you notice this, simply pull the weed out directly by hand, ensuring the entire root is removed.
Vehicle Fluids
If any fluids from your car leak onto your new resin-bound driveway, such as brake fluid, oil or fuel, this must be removed as soon as possible. Use warm water to gently wipe away the spillage. Failure to do so may result in staining or discolouration of your
However, over the years, your driveway may begin to look worn. This is not a problem as we offer a cleaning service that will be sure to give it a new lease of life. Be sure to contact us regarding resin bound surface restoration.

The cost of installation can vary depending on several factors, including area size, site access, whether a full excavation is required, existing ground conditions, the presence of manhole covers, and borders or edging details.
Please contact us with a few details of your project to help us provide you with budget costs. Should these fall within your expectations then we would be delighted to survey your project, discuss your requirements in full and then offer you a no obligation free detailed quote.
ContactA simple sweep with a stiff broom will remove debris. For deeper cleaning, use a pressure washer with a fan-type lance, keeping at least 200mm from the surface to avoid damage. Avoid turbo nozzles or high-pressure jets in one spot.
Resin bound surfaces are resistant to weed growth, but wind-blown seeds may settle on the surface. Regular brushing and occasional power washing will help prevent this. If needed, apply a mild weed killer that’s safe for resin.
For oil spills, clean the area as soon as possible using a biodegradable oil remover, followed by a rinse with warm water. Avoid harsh solvents or bleach, as they may discolour or damage the surface.
Yes – rock salt or standard de-icing products are safe to use on resin bound surfaces during cold weather. These won't damage the resin and will help maintain grip in icy conditions.
We recommend light maintenance every few months, including brushing, washing, and checking for any debris or algae in shaded areas. This will keep the surface looking clean and performing as intended for years to come.
