Resin Driveways

Transform your home with a stunning resin-bound driveway from Helyers. One of the most popular driveway choices today, resin offers the perfect combination of beauty, durability and low maintenance. Our premium resin-bound installations are SuDS-compliant, meaning rainwater drains naturally through the surface – meeting planning requirements and being kinder to the environment.

Available in a wide range of natural aggregate colours and styles, a Helyers resin driveway can be completely tailored to complement your home and garden. Whether you prefer a sleek contemporary finish or something more traditional, our team will guide you through every option to find the perfect solution for your property.

  • Smooth, attractive finish available in a wide range of colours
  • Permeable surface – no planning permission required in most cases
  • Low maintenance – resistant to weeds and frost damage
  • Highly durable with minimal upkeep required
  • UV-stable – will not fade or discolour in sunlight
  • Slip-resistant surface, safe in all weather conditions

As with all our driveway services, a senior Helyers partner will guide you from initial design right through to completed installation, ensuring the finished result exceeds your expectations.

Driveway Surface Options

We offer a wide range of driveway surfaces to suit every property style, budget, and planning requirement:

  • Block paving – The most popular choice in Hampshire. Durable, attractive, and available in a wide range of colours and patterns including herringbone, basket weave, and stretcher bond.
  • Resin bound gravel – A smooth, permeable surface that meets SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage) regulations without planning permission. Low maintenance and available in many aggregate colours.
  • Tarmac (asphalt) – A cost-effective, long-lasting option ideal for larger driveways. Can be finished with a decorative border of block paving or granite sets.
  • Indian sandstone – Brings a natural, premium look to your driveway. Works well on smaller driveways and in front of period properties.
  • Porcelain – Ultra-modern and virtually maintenance-free, porcelain driveways make a striking first impression.
  • Gravel – Affordable and quick to install. A good choice for rural or cottage-style properties, with the added benefit of acting as a natural intruder deterrent.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a New Driveway?

In many cases, you do not need planning permission for a new driveway — but there are important conditions.

If your new driveway uses a permeable surface (such as resin bound gravel, block paving with permeable jointing, or gravel), rainwater drains naturally into the ground, and planning permission is generally not required for properties in England.

However, if you install an impermeable surface (such as solid tarmac or standard concrete) and it covers more than 5m², you will need planning permission unless water drains to a lawn or border rather than the highway.

Our team is familiar with Hampshire local authority requirements and will advise you on which surface options are compliant for your specific property. We handle all aspects of the project so you don’t need to worry about the technicalities.

Our Driveway Installation Process

Every Helyers driveway project is carried out to the highest standards, with a clear process from first contact to final handover:

  1. Free site visit and quote – We assess your existing driveway, drainage, access, and surface condition and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote.
  2. Design and material selection – We help you choose the right surface, colour, and edging to complement your property.
  3. Groundworks and sub-base – A properly engineered sub-base is the foundation of a long-lasting driveway. We excavate to the correct depth and lay a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base before any surfacing begins.
  4. Surfacing and edging – The chosen surface is laid with precision, including decorative edging, drainage channels, and any kerbing required.
  5. Finishing and clean-up – We leave your property clean and tidy, with all waste materials removed.

Most residential driveway projects are completed within 2 to 5 days.
