Resin Driveways in County Durham – The Ultimate Guide
Looking for a modern, low-maintenance alternative to traditional paving? Resin-bound driveways are one of the most popular surfacing options in County Durham. At S&D Services County Durham, we install durable, permeable, and attractive resin surfaces designed to stand the test of time.
This page covers everything you need to know – including pricing, pros and cons, longevity, and comparisons with block paving.
What Is a Resin Driveway?
A resin-bound driveway is made by mixing natural stone aggregates with a UV-stable resin. Once laid and trowelled smooth, it forms a flat, seamless surface that's fully porous and visually striking.
Benefits of the resin-bound system:
Fully SUDS-compliant (permeable)
Anti-slip and wheelchair-friendly
No loose stones or weeds
Customisable colours and patterns
