Investing in a new driveway is a big decision. Since we opened Initial Driveway Installations in 2018, we’ve seen trends come and go, but Resin Bound surfacing remains the gold standard for homeowners who want curb appeal combined with low maintenance.

If you’re considering an upgrade, here is everything you need to know about why Resin Bound is the right move for your property.

1. Style Meets Personalisation

Gone are the days of plain grey tarmac. With the Resin Mill visualiser (which you can try right here on our website!), you can choose from dozens of naturally sourced stone blends. Whether you want a modern "Silver Grey" or a traditional "Golden Quartz," we can help you find a color that perfectly complements your brickwork.

2. No More Puddles (SuDS Compliant)

One of the biggest technical advantages of resin bound is that it is permeable. This means rainwater drains naturally through the surface into the ground. Not only does this prevent messy puddles, but it also meets SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations, usually meaning you won’t need extra planning permission for your driveway.

3. Strength You Can Trust: Our 10-Year Guarantee

A driveway is only as good as the hands that install it. At Initial Driveway Installations, we don't just "lay stone"—we engineer a surface built to last. We are so confident in our preparation and installation process that we provide a full 10-year guarantee on our resin work. We use a high-strength spirit level and precision measurements on every job to ensure levels are perfect and drainage is handled correctly.

4. Low Maintenance, High Reward

Unlike block paving, which can often see weeds growing through the sand joints, resin bound is a solid, seamless surface. A simple sweep and an occasional power wash are all you need to keep it looking brand new for years to come.
