Resin Driveways Dublin

A complete resin bound driveway installation from Driveways 4 You typically costs between €150 and €200 per square metre. Our guide price includes the standard sub-base build-up required as part of a complete installation, as well as preparation, resin bound materials and labour. The final cost depends on factors including the size of the driveway, existing ground conditions, drainage, access, aggregate choice and design details.

Our €150–€200 per m² guide price is intended to represent a complete resin driveway installation rather than simply the cost of applying the finished resin surface. It includes excavation and site preparation, standard sub-base build-up, preparation of suitable levels, resin bound aggregate and materials, professional installation and labour from our own experienced team. Additional decorative features such as granite kerb edging and bespoke inlays are quoted separately where required.

With a resin bound surface, the selected aggregate is mixed thoroughly with resin before the mixture is applied and trowelled to create a smooth, even finish. Resin bonded surfacing uses a different method in which aggregate is scattered onto a layer of resin. The resin driveways shown on this page use the resin bound system.

It depends on the condition and suitability of the existing driveway. Before recommending how the new resin surface should be installed, we assess the existing surface, foundations, levels and drainage. Where the existing driveway is unsuitable, removal and additional preparation may be required to provide the correct foundation for the new installation.

Resin bound surfacing has an open structure that can allow water to pass through the finished surface. However, the drainage performance of the complete driveway also depends on the construction beneath it and the way the driveway has been designed. We consider existing levels, ground conditions and drainage requirements when assessing each property.

There is a wide choice of aggregate colours available, ranging from lighter cream, gold and natural stone tones to greys, darker blends and more distinctive contemporary finishes. We currently show 48 Daltex colour blends on this page, giving you plenty of choice when selecting a finish to complement your home, walls, windows and surrounding landscaping.

The installation time depends on the size of the driveway, the condition of the existing surface, the amount of excavation and preparation required, drainage, design details and weather conditions. Once we have inspected the property and assessed the work involved, we can give you a clearer indication of the expected installation schedule.

Routine maintenance is relatively straightforward. Regular sweeping helps remove leaves, soil and loose debris, while occasional cleaning can help keep the aggregate surface looking fresh. Oil and other spills should be dealt with promptly, and organic material should not be allowed to accumulate on the surface. If you are unsure about a cleaning product or method, we recommend checking with us before using strong chemicals or aggressive cleaning techniques.

Proper preparation helps minimise problems with vegetation coming through from beneath the driveway. However, no external surface should be described as completely weed-free. Seeds can be carried onto a driveway by wind or birds and may occasionally germinate in accumulated dirt or organic material on the surface. Regular sweeping and maintenance can help prevent this build-up.

No. Our resin driveway installations are carried out by our own experienced team. Keeping the work in-house allows us to maintain control over the project from preparation, foundations and drainage through to the borders, resin surface and final finishing details.
