Resin Pavings and Driveways

1. Choosing Your Driveway - Resin Pavings and Driveways Getting a driveway can be stressful, there's a lot to think about and then after everything you have to make sure you are happy with the end result. The trouble is, you don't even know where to start. What do you want from your driveway First you need to decide what the function of your driveway is. For cars - Do you need off street parking, do you have a lot of visitors, is there a garage at the end of the driveway or are you extending an existing driveway for more cars. Storage - You have a boat or a caravan that needs a resting place For a feature - You may not need parking and so want to make the driveway more of a featured pathway. Practical and feature - Maybe you need both? You are looking for a driveway with the occasional use of a car but want to keep it as a feature the rest of the time. Disabled access - You may also be considering changing your driveway to accommodate equipment such as a wheelchair or just making it a flat surface for safety What options are available? Many outdoor home improvement companies can offer a wide range of options and your options will differ according to the use of your driveway. There is also planning permission and Sustainable Drainage legislation to consider but every outdoor maintenance company should have a good grasp on this. Loose slate driveway - Not for heavy traffic and is more of a feature, it can work out expensive though.

2. Shingle gravel driveway - very popular option although it does tend to spread a little and get in your car tyres. Block granite / brick driveways - create a flatter surface and can withstand heavy traffic. Coloured slabs - This gives your driveway a more fun and friendly feel, more like a patio. Tarmac - A popular choice for new builds offering a smooth flat surface Resin driveways - Made from a combination of resin and natural aggregate. It is smooth and offers a variety of benefits. Why choose a resin driveway? Unlike other driveways a resin driveway doesn't need planning permission as it meets the requirements of SUDS legislation. With a few colour options to choose from you can use it for driveways, patios, steps and even swimming pool surrounds. It requires very little maintenance and is often guaranteed for a number of years. The benefits - UV Protected so won't fade like slabs, non-slip, permeable, suitable for indoor and outdoor use, no weeding, no loose stones creating a flat surface and pet friendly.
