Premium Resin Driveways Kent
If you’re searching for a resin driveway in Kent, you’ll see plenty of nice photos. The real difference is what sits underneath.
A resin bound driveway only performs properly when the base, drainage and levels are handled correctly. If the groundwork is weak, the surface can crack, dip, or start to look patchy, and resin won’t “cover up” a poor base.
At Driveway & Patio Kent (DPK) we install resin driveways across Kent with a practical approach: we check the base, plan the falls, and finish the surface cleanly so it looks right and works properly in everyday use.
Quality Paving Solutions
Where Resin Driveways Work Best
Resin bound surfacing is particularly effective where a smooth finish, permeability, and low maintenance are priorities.
Resin Driveways for Residential Properties
For standard residential parking areas, resin gives a tidy, contemporary finish and works well for regular vehicle use. The key is keeping the surface level and ensuring the base is solid.
Resin for Front Gardens and Access Areas
Many front gardens are converted into parking. Resin bound is a strong choice here because it can support a clean layout while helping with surface water drainage (especially useful where puddling has been an issue).
Resin Paths and Linking Areas
Resin is often used to connect driveways with paths or entrance areas, helping create a consistent surface across the property. This approach keeps levels aligned, drainage controlled, and movement between spaces practical and well defined.
Resin Driveway Kent: Base, Drainage & Levels
Resin looks great when the groundwork is right.
But if the base is weak or the drainage isn’t planned, the driveway won’t stay level for long.
For every resin driveway in Kent, we check the base, set the falls, and make sure water has a clear route away. Resin bound surfacing is typically laid over tarmac (asphalt) or concrete, and if that base is failing, it’s repaired or rebuilt first.
Because a good finish only lasts as long as what’s underneath it.

Yes — as long as the surface is solid and free from major cracks or movement.
We inspect the base first and repair or level it if needed to ensure a perfect bond.
No. Resin bound surfaces are naturally grippy and can be enhanced with anti-slip additives.
This makes them ideal for driveways, paths, patios, and pool surrounds.
We only use UV-stable resin, which prevents yellowing or colour fading over time.
Cheaper non-UV resins can discolour — but we never use them.
With proper installation and maintenance, a resin surface typically lasts 15–20 years.
It resists cracking, weeds, and erosion far better than many traditional surfaces.
Resin is generally similar in price or slightly higher than standard block paving, depending on the aggregate and preparation needed.
However, it offers a more modern look, minimal maintenance, and excellent durability — making it a great long-term investment.
