How Much Does a Resin Driveway cost?

The cost involved with the installation of your new Resin Bound Driveway Path or Patio can vary dependant on many factors.

From colour, which type of resin is offered or used, size of the area, if you are extending the size of the area, or indeed if there is no driveway to begin with and a full excavation of the ground is required first.

If trees or shrubbery need to be removed, old walls may need to be removed, rebuilt or added. The same applies to new steps, brickwork, gate posts or brick piers and also what kind of brick or concrete edging is desired or required.

There are two types of resin typically used in a resin driveway, Aliphatic or Aromatic (often referred to as UV or Non-UV) .

ResinBondedDriveways.co.uk not only use the best UV Aliphatic Resins in every installation but also are the only company to use a UKAS certified Resin Bound System.

Other considerations to take into account are whether your existing surface, be it concrete or tarmac is in good enough condition to receive a straight installation on top of it. This is usually cheaper than starting from scratch. for example a lawned area being turned into a resin driveway, path or patio.

Below are some expected examples of costs for 2023.

Straight lay onto an existing solid and good condition surface such as concrete or tarmac - £50-£80 per m² dependant on resin type and stone colour.
Full Excavation works - £120-£150 per m²
Edgings - £12-£40 per linear metre.
Removal of trees and shrubs - Up to £500 but could be more dependant on how many and the machinery used.
New wall and steps - £1500-£2500, again dependant on if the wall needs to be retaining and how many courses.
Two elegant brick piers £400-£800

All these prices are to act as rough guide price for you new Resin Driveway in 2023.
