Question 1

How long do resin bound driveways last?

Accepted Answer

A professionally installed resin bound driveway typically lasts 15-25 years with proper maintenance. At KT Lake Paving & Landscaping, we use high-quality materials and proven installation techniques developed over 30 years to ensure maximum durability. Our Brett Approved Premier Installer status guarantees you're getting a long-lasting surface that will stand the test of time.

Question 2

Are resin bound driveways permeable and do they require planning permission?

Accepted Answer

Yes, resin bound driveways are fully permeable, allowing water to drain through naturally, which means they typically don't require planning permission. This sustainable drainage system (SuDS) compliant solution helps prevent flooding and meets environmental regulations. KT Lake Paving & Landscaping can advise you on any specific planning requirements for your Norfolk property.

Question 3

How much does a resin bound driveway cost?

Accepted Answer

Resin bound driveway costs vary depending on area size, existing surface condition, and aggregate choice, typically ranging from £40-80 per square metre. KT Lake Paving & Landscaping provides free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your specific requirements. With over 30 years of experience in Norfolk, we offer competitive pricing and transparent costs with no hidden extras.

Question 4

What maintenance do resin bound driveways need?

Accepted Answer

Resin bound driveways require minimal maintenance - simply regular sweeping and occasional power washing to keep them looking pristine. Unlike traditional driveways, they're weed-resistant and won't crack or develop potholes when properly installed. KT Lake Paving & Landscaping provides maintenance advice and can offer ongoing care services to keep your driveway in perfect condition.

Question 5

Can resin bound driveways be installed over existing surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes, resin bound surfaces can often be installed over existing concrete or tarmac, provided the base is structurally sound and properly prepared. This can significantly reduce installation costs and time compared to complete excavation. KT Lake Paving & Landscaping will assess your existing driveway during our free site survey to determine the best installation approach for your Norfolk property.
