Is resin bound suitable for driveways for a small job?

What is a permeable driveway?

A permeable driveway allows water to soak through the surface into the ground below, reducing run-off. Resin bound and some block paving systems can be permeable when installed with the right base layers. Ask how permeability is achieved in the quote.

What is the difference between asphalt and tarmac?

In many conversations, tarmac refers to asphalt surfacing. The exact mix can vary, but asphalt is a common driveway material for a smooth, durable finish. Ask what material is specified in the quote. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.

Do I need drainage channels?

Drainage needs depend on slope, surface choice and local requirements. Channels or soakaways may be needed to control run-off. Ask what drainage is included and how it will work. Photos and measurements can help the Driveway Specialist give clearer guidance.

Can I keep access to my driveway during the work for a small job?

Access depends on the stages of work and curing times. Some jobs allow partial access, while others need temporary closure. Discuss access needs early so the schedule can accommodate them. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.

How do you handle ground preparation?

Ground preparation can include excavation, removal of old material and laying a compacted sub-base. The depth and materials depend on the surface and soil conditions. A clear scope should explain these steps. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Driveway Specialist can plan the right approach.
