Resin Driveways

Transform your property entrance with a stunning resin driveway from Hillcrest Landscapes. Based in Castleford and serving a 15-mile radius, our family business brings over 20 years of experience to creating smooth, contemporary resin surfaces that combine beauty with exceptional performance.

Why Choose Resin Driveways?

Resin driveways offer the perfect fusion of modern aesthetics and practical functionality. The seamless, smooth surface creates a contemporary appearance that complements both traditional and modern properties whilst providing excellent durability and weather resistance. Unlike traditional surfaces, resin driveways are virtually maintenance-free and resistant to weeds, oil stains, and frost damage.

The flexibility of resin allows for endless design possibilities, from subtle natural tones to bold contemporary colours. The surface remains comfortable to walk on, provides excellent grip for vehicles, and can incorporate decorative borders or patterns to create a truly bespoke entrance that enhances your property's value and kerb appeal.

Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded

Understanding the difference between resin bound and resin bonded surfaces is crucial for making the right choice for your property. Resin bound surfaces mix aggregates with resin before application, creating a smooth, porous surface that allows water drainage. This makes them suitable for larger areas and compliant with planning regulations.

Resin bonded surfaces apply resin to the base before scattering loose aggregates on top. Whilst more cost-effective, this creates a slightly textured surface that's less permeable. Our experienced team advises on the most appropriate option based on your specific requirements, budget, and intended use.

Professional Installation Process

At Hillcrest Landscapes, we understand that exceptional resin driveways require meticulous preparation and professional application techniques. Our experienced team begins with thorough assessment of your existing surface or preparation of new groundwork, ensuring optimal adhesion and longevity.

We prepare the base using appropriate materials and techniques, applying primer where necessary to ensure perfect bonding. The resin and aggregate mixture is then expertly applied using professional equipment, ensuring consistent thickness and smooth finish. Our skilled craftsmen work quickly and precisely, as resin installation requires careful timing and temperature control.

The surface is then carefully levelled and finished, creating a seamless appearance that will serve you reliably for decades. Our attention to detail ensures your resin driveway not only looks exceptional but performs consistently in all weather conditions.

Colour and Design Options

Resin driveways offer unparalleled design flexibility, allowing you to create a truly personalised entrance that reflects your style and complements your property. We offer an extensive range of aggregate colours and sizes, from natural earth tones to contemporary greys and bold accent colours.

Popular design options include:

• Natural Stone Aggregates: Warm, traditional appearance using local Yorkshire stone
• Contemporary Greys: Modern, sophisticated tones perfect for contemporary properties
• Golden Blends: Classic colours that complement period architecture
• Decorative Borders: Contrasting edges to define areas and add visual interest
• Pattern Incorporation: Subtle design elements to personalise your driveway

Our design consultation service helps you select the perfect combination of colours and finishes to achieve your vision whilst ensuring the surface meets your practical requirements.

Durability and Weather Resistance

Resin driveways are engineered to withstand the British climate's challenges. The flexible nature of resin prevents cracking during freeze-thaw cycles, whilst the UV-stable formulation ensures colours remain vibrant for years. The surface is resistant to oil stains, making maintenance straightforward with simple hosing or pressure washing.

The permeable nature of resin bound surfaces prevents water pooling and ice formation, making your driveway safer throughout the year. This natural drainage also helps comply with sustainable urban drainage regulations whilst reducing maintenance requirements.

Maintenance and Longevity

One of the greatest advantages of resin driveways is their minimal maintenance requirements. The smooth, non-porous surface resists weed growth and staining, requiring only occasional cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance. Unlike block paving or gravel, there are no joints to maintain or loose materials to redistribute.

Regular hosing removes everyday dirt and debris, whilst periodic pressure washing keeps the surface looking like new. Our professional installation includes comprehensive aftercare guidance, ensuring your investment continues to enhance your property for decades to come.

Planning and Permissions

Resin bound driveways typically don't require planning permission due to their permeable properties, which allow natural drainage and don't increase surface water runoff. This can save both time and money compared to traditional impermeable surfaces that may require additional drainage provisions.

Our experienced team provides guidance on local authority requirements and can advise on any specific considerations for your property and location.
