Resin Driveways
Resin driveways in Orpington & Bromley
A resin-bound driveway gives you a smooth, seamless, low-maintenance surface that drains straight through and stays looking smart for years. Prestige Landscapes installs resin-bound driveways across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bromley, laid over a solid base and finished by hand, with our workmanship guarantee behind every one.
Why choose resin?
Resin-bound surfacing is hard-wearing, permeable and virtually maintenance-free. There are no loose stones to scatter, no puddles and no weeds pushing up through joints. It comes in a wide choice of natural aggregate colours and its smooth finish looks especially good on modern homes. Because it's permeable, it usually meets SUDS drainage rules without the need for planning permission.
Resin bound, not resin bonded
It's worth knowing the difference. Resin-bound means the stone is mixed with resin and trowelled on for a smooth, permeable finish, which is what we recommend and install. Resin-bonded scatters stone over resin for a rougher, non-permeable surface. Bound is the more durable, better-draining and better-looking option for a driveway.
Laid over a solid base
A resin surface is only as good as what's underneath it. We lay resin over a sound, properly prepared base, either a new permeable base or existing tarmac or concrete that's in good condition, so the finished driveway stays strong and drains as it should.
| Driveway size | Typical range (fitted) |
|---|---|
| Small (single car, ~25 m²) | £1,500 – £2,800 |
| Medium (2 cars, ~40 m²) | £2,400 – £4,200 |
| Large (~60 m²+) | £3,600 – £6,500+ |
Guide prices assume a sound base to lay over. A new sub-base adds to the figure. We confirm the exact price after a free site visit.

FAQs
Resin Driveways: your questions answered
How much does a resin driveway cost in the Orpington area?
As a guide, around £60 to £95 per m² installed. If we need to build a new base first, the total is higher. We confirm an exact price after seeing the site.
Is resin cheaper than block paving?
It can be similar. Resin often works out slightly cheaper per square metre if there's a sound base to lay over, while block paving can cost more where a lot of groundwork is involved. We'll price both if you're weighing them up.
How long does a resin driveway last?
A well-installed resin-bound driveway typically lasts 15 to 25 years with very little maintenance. Laying it over the right base is what makes the difference.
Is a resin driveway permeable and SUDS compliant?
Yes. A resin-bound surface is permeable, so it drains through rather than running off to the road. That usually means no planning permission is required.
Does resin get weeds or fade?
Very rarely. The sealed, jointless surface leaves nowhere for weeds to take hold and UV-stable resin keeps the colour looking consistent for years.
