Resin Bound Driveways in Somerset
A resin bound driveway gives you a smooth, seamless, permeable surface that looks premium from day one and stays low-maintenance for years. We install resin bound properly — starting with the base underneath, not just the finish on top. Built with proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints across Somerset.
A great driveway starts underneath the surface: proper sub-base preparation, drainage and edge restraints before the finish goes down.
Proper groundwork before the finish
A great driveway starts underneath the surface. For Somerset homes, we check levels, drainage, edges, existing cracks and whether the current base is sound enough for an overlay. If it needs a full dig-out, we'll explain why before you spend a penny.
- + Honest assessment of your existing surface — overlay or full dig-out
- + Full excavation and MOT Type 1 sub-base where required
- + Permeable base build-up where appropriate for drainage compliance
- + Solid edging restraint so the surface edge never crumbles
- + ACO channels and drainage where water needs managing
- + Recessed manhole covers for a clean, uninterrupted finish
- + Resin and aggregate mixed to the correct ratios on site
- + Hand-trowelled finish by an experienced installation team

Resin Bound in Somerset - common questions
Is resin bound permeable?
Yes — resin bound (as opposed to resin bonded) is porous, so rainwater drains through the surface into the base below. On a permeable base build-up it normally complies with front-garden planning rules without extra drainage. Where the base isn't permeable, we design in falls and ACO channels instead.
Can you lay resin over my existing driveway?
Sometimes. If your existing concrete or tarmac is sound, stable and at the right levels, an overlay can be a cost-effective option. If it's cracked, sunken or breaking up, overlaying just transfers those problems into your new surface — we'll always tell you honestly which applies.
Will the colour fade?
Standard resins can amber slightly in strong sunlight. Where colour matters — lighter blends, exposed south-facing drives — we specify UV-stable resin, which holds its colour far better. We'll recommend the right one for your job and explain the difference in cost.
Will weeds come through?
Not through a properly installed resin bound surface. Any occasional growth is surface-level — wind-blown seeds settling in dust — and sweeps or pulls away easily. It's nothing like weeds rooting up through block paving joints.

Yes. We cover Somerset from our Bridgwater base and quote honestly before any work starts. Send a few photos on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the best next step.
Can you tell from photos whether this needs an overlay or full dig-out?
Often we can give a useful steer from photos, especially if you include close-ups of cracks, levels, drains and edges. We still check the base, levels and drainage on site before giving a final written quote.
