Resin-bound driveways are a great option when it comes to getting your driveway done. What they basically are is when a mixture is created with an aggregate such as gravel and with resin and then that is used as the driveway instead of something like mono-blocking or tarmac. 

Resin driveways in London and the rest of the UK are an incredibly popular choice because of the significant benefits that come with them.  They are also incredibly popular due to the fact that they are permeable.

There are many benefits that come with opting for a resin driveway from Limegate Specialist Surfacing over another kind, but listed here are just going to be the top three reasons why you should consider going for a resin driveway.

1: Cost 

This is normally the first thing that people consider before doing anything, so, it is important to know that relative to most of the other options you can go with resin driveways are normally one of the most cost-effective. 

Make sure though that when you are hiring someone to do It for you that you make sure you are going with someone that is qualified for the job. 

2: Look

Resin driveways look great and there are normally numerous variations of colour that you can go with.

They are typically less common than other kinds of driveway so hopefully, it might make your property look unique and stand out from the crowd.

You also have a lot more freedom when it comes to design. Since there are so many different kinds of colours that can be used, it should then be possible that all different kinds of designs or patterns can be created but it is best to speak to the installer to see if what you have in mind is feasible. 

3: Maintenance

One thing you always need to consider before making a decision is how difficult will this be to maintain?

The answer to that question in regards to resin driveways is that they are very easy to take care of. If you take care of the driveway properly, then it should also be great for keeping any weeds at bay, they are also incredibly easy to clean.

Also, when you go with a higher quality of resin then they might also be resistant to oil spillages that might happen due to cars on the driveway, but you will need to talk to the installer about that. 

Great Alternative 

The benefits listed here are the three main ones to keep in mind but there are so many more than just these. Another thing about resin driveways is that due to being low maintenance they also typically last for a long time when they are properly maintained. You also don’t need to worry about durability as they are incredibly durable too.

Resin driveways are increasing in popularity throughout the UK and it is clear as to why that is the case. If you are looking to get any work done to your driveway then you should definitely consider getting a resin driveway.
