Resin Bound Driveways in Marchwood means working with a mix of older village housing and later estate development — a seamless aggregate-and-resin surface, trowelled flat with no loose stone and no gaps for weeds. The typical job in Marchwood itself is waterside, low-lying ground that shapes drainage decisions on every job. It suits front-garden conversions and swept curves where a clean, low-maintenance finish matters most, and it is worth knowing that a permeable build-up is what makes it SuDS-compliant — an impermeable base means it isn’t. There is also its low-lying waterside position near the port to plan around.
About Resin Bound Driveways
Resin bound driveways mix a graded natural aggregate fully through a clear UV-stable resin, then trowel the blend to a smooth, flat, close-textured finish over a properly prepared sub-base or a sound existing concrete or tarmac base. Because every stone is fully coated and bound, there is no loose material to migrate, sweep away or catch in shoes, and no gap for weeds to establish. It suits front-garden conversions, curved or swept driveways, and properties where a clean, contemporary, low-maintenance finish matters. Specified with a permeable build-up it also meets SuDS drainage requirements; specified over an impermeable base it does not, so the build-up matters more than the surface layer itself.
Best suited to: small to mid-size front-garden conversions, curved sweeps, and any property where a seamless no-weed finish is the priority
Less suited to: very heavy commercial vehicle loading, where a thicker structural surface like tarmac is the more sensible choice
