Resin vs Tarmac

Tarmac is functional, but lacks aesthetic appeal. Resin bound offers the structural benefits of a solid surface with the beauty of natural stone.

Aesthetics

Tarmac: Utilitarian, flat black or red. Fades to a dull grey over time. Can soften and scar in extreme summer heat.

Resin Bound: Over 40 stunning natural stone colours. Adds significant kerb appeal and value to your property.

Drainage

Tarmac: Impermeable. Requires separate drainage channels or planning permission if surface water runs into the road.

Resin Bound: Fully permeable and SUDS compliant. Water drains naturally through the surface.

If you have an existing tarmac driveway in good condition, we can often overlay it with resin for a dramatic, cost-effective transformation.
