A resin driveway is quickly becoming one of the most popular surfacing choices for UK homeowners looking to modernise their property. Known for its clean appearance and reliable performance, resin offers a long-term alternative to traditional driveway materials such as block paving, tarmac, or gravel.
With the SUDwell™ Silver Kit, creating a premium resin driveway doesn’t require specialist skills or expensive contractors. This DIY-ready solution delivers professional results while giving you full control over installation and cost.
How a Resin Driveway Works
A resin driveway is formed by binding decorative stone aggregates together using a clear, high-strength resin. The result is a smooth, seamless surface that looks refined and performs exceptionally well under everyday vehicle traffic.
Two resin systems are commonly used:
-
Resin-bound systems, where stone and resin are blended together before being laid, forming a level, free-draining surface.
-
Resin-bonded systems, where loose stones are broadcast over a resin layer, creating a more textured finish.
For driveways, resin-bound systems are widely preferred due to their durability, smoothness, and permeability.
Advantages of Choosing a Resin Driveway
Built to Last
A resin driveway is resistant to cracking, movement, and surface wear when installed on a solid base, making it ideal for long-term use.
Low Effort Upkeep
The sealed surface prevents weed growth and reduces dirt buildup. Routine sweeping or light washing is usually enough to keep it looking new.
Excellent Drainage
Resin driveways are often compliant with modern drainage standards, allowing water to pass through the surface instead of pooling.
Visual Impact
Resin instantly elevates a property’s exterior. The Sudwell Silver finish offers a contemporary tone that blends well with brickwork, paving, and landscaping.
DIY Cost Savings
While professional resin driveway installation can be expensive, DIY kits make it possible to achieve the same visual results at a much lower cost.

Preparing Your Base for a Resin Driveway
A well-prepared base is essential for a successful resin driveway. Existing concrete or tarmac surfaces should be sound, level, and free from cracks. Thorough cleaning and dry conditions during installation will ensure optimal bonding and longevity.
Although DIY resin driveway projects are achievable for many homeowners, professional installation may still be considered for complex layouts or larger driveways.
