Your driveway takes up more of your property’s exterior than almost anything else. It’s the first thing people see, and if it’s cracked, weedy or just looking tired, it pulls down the look of the whole house, and yes no matter how nice the rest of it is. A resin bound driveway by QMS fixes that, and it fixes it for a long time.
Compared to gravel, tarmac or concrete, resin bound surfacing holds up better and asks less of you. Resin bound stays put, stays clean, and keeps looking good with nothing more than a sweep and the occasional rinse.
It is also a permeable surface, meaning rainwater drains straight through rather than sitting on top or running off. The surface itself is slip-resistant, UV stable so it won’t fade in the sun, and weed-resistant because there are simply no gaps for anything to push through. It comes in a wide range of aggregate colours through Vuba and Daltex including natural gravels, golden tones, greys, darker contemporary blends so there’s something to suit a traditional Devon stone cottage just as much as a modern new build.
A resin bound driveway is one of those improvements that works on two levels. Day to day, you get a surface that’s low maintenance and genuinely looks good. Longer term, kerb appeal is one of the most consistent factors estate agents point to when it comes to property value — and your driveway is the biggest single contributor to it. If you’re thinking ahead to a sale, or simply want the outside of your home to reflect the care you’ve put into the inside, it’s one of the most effective things you can do.

Resin bound refers to a surfacing solution, manufactured using a mixture of resin and a stone aggregate. Once cured, the solution creates a smooth, hardened and durable surface which can be used for a range of purposes, including residential or commercial driveways.
At QMS, we know that your driveways and pathways are an extension of you and it’s important to put your personal stamp on them. Which is why, we can customise your driveway’s resin and aggregate mixture to best suit your needs and have a wide range of colours to choose from.
To ensure your resin driveway continues to look brand new, we do recommend that you regularly maintain your driveway.
To do this, we recommend pressure washing your driveway, BUT the powerwasher must be set at a moderate pressure (between 1,000 and 2,500 psi) to avoid damaging your resin surfacing. A wide spray nozzle should also be used and the concentrated force should be applied for a distance.
Yes. Based on research by Yopa, adding a resin bound driveway can increase your property value by typically 5% to 10% as it strongly enhances your kerb appeal. The average house price in the UK is currently £268,319, this means the potential increase can range from £13,415.95 – £26,831.90.
You generally do not need planning permission for a resin-bound driveway, as it is fully porous and complaint with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).
