Resin Driveways in Henley-in-Arden

Driveways on Henley-in-Arden housing

The properties we are asked about in Henley-in-Arden are mostly older houses with a gravel or worn tarmac frontage, and the request is usually the same: something that stays put under a car, drains properly and does not look like a supermarket car park. Resin bound in a natural aggregate does that well. It reads as gravel from the road but it is seamless and permeable, it does not migrate onto the pavement, and it does not need raking.

On a Georgian or timber-framed frontage a buff or golden aggregate with a brick or setts border is the usual choice, and we bring samples to look at against the actual house.

Inside the conservation area, Stratford-on-Avon District Council may take a view on the loss of a front boundary wall or hedge and on the surface material, so we check the address before we quote rather than after. Outside it, on the modern housing at the edges of the town and along the Warwick and Stratford roads, the job is conventional: a proper dig, a compacted sub-base, drainage that keeps the water on the plot, and a surface chosen on the day.

Larger rural plots around Wootton Wawen and Ullenhall often want a long resin or gravel drive with a proper edge and a soakaway, which is a groundworks job first.
