Resin Driveways & Paths - professional resin driveways & paths services by Connaught Tree Care across the West of Ireland
Overview

What we do

Resin-bound paving is one of the smartest driveway options for Irish homes, and it is growing in popularity for good reason. The surface is permeable, so rainwater drains straight through it instead of running off onto the road or into drains, which many local authorities now prefer. It also gives you a smooth, seamless finish that looks great in any colour, and it needs very little upkeep. Our team installs resin-bound driveways and paths across the region, and we use quality resin and aggregate that stands up to our climate. The result is a driveway that looks like new for years with just the occasional wash down.

Our Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Site Survey

    We inspect the base, check drainage and measure up so we can price the job accurately.

  2. 02

    Base Preparation

    We prepare and repair the base so the resin has a clean, stable surface to bond to.

  3. 03

    Resin Application

    We mix the resin and aggregate on site and lay it by hand in one continuous pour.

  4. 04

    Curing & Handover

    We leave the surface to cure, tidy the site and explain how to care for your new drive.

FAQ

Frequently asked

How much does a resin driveway cost?
Resin driveways generally cost between €80 and €120 per square metre installed, depending on the aggregate and the condition of the existing base. We will give you a fixed quote after surveying your site.
How long does a resin driveway take to install?
Most resin driveways are laid in 3 to 5 days including preparation, and the surface is ready to walk on within 24 hours of the final layer. Vehicles can usually use it after a couple of days.
What does resin bound mean?
Resin bound means the aggregate is mixed with resin and trowelled flat, giving a smooth, permeable surface. It is different from resin bonded, which is a thin layer spread over an existing surface.
Does a resin driveway need planning permission?
A permeable resin-bound drive on an existing hard surface normally does not need permission, and it can even help with SuDS drainage requirements. We can advise on the rules for your area before we start.
How do I maintain a resin driveway?
Very little is needed - an occasional brush and a wash down with soapy water keeps it looking its best. Avoid strong jet washing too close to the surface and keep weed killer and chemicals off it.
Can you lay resin over my existing tarmac or concrete drive?
Yes, if the existing surface is sound and well drained we can overlay it with resin-bound paving, which saves time and money. We will check the base during the survey and tell you honestly if it is suitable.
