Resin Bound Driveways in Gravesend, DA12
A resin bound driveway is a smooth, seamless surface made by mixing natural aggregate with a clear UV-stable resin and hand-trowelling it onto a solid base. It looks premium, drains freely, and doesn’t suffer from loose stones, weeds pushing through or the cracking you get with old concrete.
We design, prepare and lay resin bound driveways, paths and patios for homeowners in Gravesend. Every job is priced after a free site visit so the quote reflects your actual base, levels and drainage, not a guess.
Resin colours, blends and bases
Resin bound can be laid over sound existing tarmac or concrete, or onto a new open-graded macadam base if the old drive has failed. We’ll tell you honestly which applies after looking at it. Popular blends include silver greys, warm golds and autumn tones. We use UV-stable resin so lighter colours don’t yellow over time.
Resin bound is permeable, so in most cases it meets the rules on paving front gardens without the need for extra drainage. That’s a big reason it’s chosen for front drives.

Local resin bound surfacing specialists in Gravesend
Resin bound is one of the most requested surfaces we lay around Gravesend. On terraced streets near the town centre, it’s a neat way to turn a small front garden into a parking space that still drains naturally. On the bigger plots out towards Singlewell, Istead Rise and Shorne, it gives long drives a clean, modern finish. We’ve replaced several old tarmac drives in Gravesend with silver-grey resin bound. In most cases the old surface was too far gone to overlay, so we dug out and laid a new permeable base first. Because we’re based just down the road in Meopham, it’s easy for us to pop round, show you colour samples on your own drive and be on site quickly once you’re ready.
Gravesend has a real mix of property: Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and Windmill Hill, inter-war and post-war semis further out, and newer homes towards Ebbsfleet.
Dropped kerbs (vehicle crossings) on Kent roads are approved by Kent County Council, so we factor their application and lead time into your timeline.
We cover all of DA11, DA12 and DA13 and nearby areas including: Northfleet, Riverview Park, Singlewell, Chalk, Denton, Istead Rise, Shorne. Our yard in Meopham is just a few miles away.

Why choose Pro Paving for resin bound surfacing
Permeable
Water drains through the surface rather than pooling or running off onto the pavement, which also helps with the rules on paving front gardens.
No loose stones
Unlike gravel, every stone is bound in resin, so nothing kicks up, scatters or gets walked into the house.
Low maintenance
A regular sweep and a gentle wash once or twice a year keep it looking fresh.
Durable and flexible
A properly laid resin bound surface resists cracking and frost and lasts for many years on a sound base.
Resin Bound Driveways in Gravesend: FAQs
Can you match resin to the brickwork on my Gravesend house?
Yes. We bring sample blends to the site visit so you can see them against your brick, render and doors. Silver and grey blends suit the newer homes around Ebbsfleet, while warmer golds and buffs often work well with Victorian brick near the town centre.
Can resin be laid over my existing driveway?
Often, yes. If the existing tarmac or concrete is sound and stable, resin can go straight over it after repairs. If it's breaking up or sinking, we'll recommend a new base instead.
Is resin bound slippery?
No. With the right aggregate it's slip-resistant, and an anti-slip finish can be added on slopes.
How long before I can drive on it?
Usually you can walk on it after a few hours and drive on it after about 24 to 48 hours, depending on the weather.
Will weeds grow through resin bound?
Weeds can't push up through a resin bound surface laid on a proper base. Occasional moss or seeds on the surface simply sweep off.
Do you cover Gravesend and the surrounding area?
Yes. Gravesend is our home area. We work across DA11, DA12 and DA13, including Northfleet, Riverview Park, Singlewell, Chalk, Denton, and our base in Meopham is just a few miles away. Site visits and quotes are free.
