Common questions
A typical UK driveway of around 50 square metres costs roughly £2,000 to £3,500 if it can be laid over a sound existing base, and more if a new sub-base is needed.
Resin bound is usually similar to or slightly cheaper than good block paving once you account for labour, and it needs less maintenance because there are no joints for weeds.
Permeable resin bound surfaces that let water drain through usually do not need planning permission. Non-permeable surfaces over five square metres that drain to the road may need it.
