Resin Driveway in Bury St Edmunds
We recently completed a stunning resin driveway installation for a client in Bury St Edmunds, transforming their old, tired-looking driveway into a sleek, modern, and highly durable surface. The client was seeking a low-maintenance, visually appealing solution that would enhance the appearance of their property while providing a practical surface for everyday use.
Before & After
Before:
The original driveway was a tired and weathered tarmac surface, which had become discoloured and uneven over time. The lack of clear edging and poor drainage made the area look neglected, with moss and dirt accumulating across the surface. The outdated appearance detracted from the overall look of the property, and the client wanted a modern, low maintenance solution to enhance their home’s kerb appeal.
After:
The transformation is remarkable. The new resin-bound driveway boasts a smooth, seamless and highly durable surface in a beautiful golden tone that perfectly complements the surroundings. With crisp charcoal block edging framing the driveway, the finished result is both stylish and practical. The resin surface offers excellent drainage, ensuring a puddle-free, low maintenance driveway that will maintain its appearance for years to come. The property’s kerb appeal has been significantly enhanced, providing a welcoming and sophisticated entrance.
Process Overview
1. Site Preparation
The project began with a thorough cleaning and preparation of the existing driveway. We ensured the surface was cleared of any debris, moss, or loose material. This preparation step is crucial to ensure proper adhesion of the new resin layer.
2. Repair and Priming
To enhance the strength of the base, we made any necessary repairs to the existing surface, ensuring it was level and structurally sound. A high-quality primer was applied to promote strong bonding between the old tarmac and the new resin surface.
3. Edging Installation
New charcoal block edging was installed along the sides of the driveway to provide a neat, framed finish. These borders also help contain the resin, giving the driveway a clean and defined look.
4. Laying the Resin Surface
We applied premium UV-stable resin mixed with natural aggregate stones in a warm, golden tone, chosen to complement the property’s surroundings. The resin mix ensures long-lasting durability, preventing discolouration and maintaining its stunning appearance over time.
5. Curing and Final Checks
The newly laid surface was left to cure, allowing it to set and harden properly. After the curing process, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure a flawless finish and that the drainage was functioning as expected.
The completed resin driveway provides the property with a contemporary, sophisticated appearance. The smooth and porous surface ensures excellent drainage, eliminating puddles and making the driveway safe to use all year round. Its low maintenance qualities make it an ideal choice for the client, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep it looking pristine.
