From Surbiton streets to the riverside near Kingston Bridge, resin bound surfacing offers a smart, modern finish that suits Kingston’s mix of period and contemporary homes. The surface is fully permeable, helping rainwater drain through rather than pooling. It also delivers a clean, seamless look for driveways, front paths and patio areas. If you want a tidy entrance that’s practical year-round, resin is a strong choice.
The Kingston upon Thames area includes Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and design needs. We regularly work across KT1 and KT2, where driveways can be narrow, sloped or shared. Resin bound surfacing can be shaped neatly around bay windows, garden walls and existing steps. It’s an ideal upgrade when you want a premium finish without constant maintenance.
We start with a site visit, check levels and drainage, then prepare a stable base before laying the resin and aggregate mix for a smooth finish. Our systems are SuDS compliant, UV stable and weed resistant, designed to look great for years. Fine Landscaping provides clear scheduling, tidy working practices and a 15-year guarantee on resin bound installations. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and straightforward advice from start to finish.
In the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we often find mixed ground conditions and older drive bases that need strengthening before resurfacing. Parking and access can be tight around busy routes near the Bentall Centre, so we plan deliveries and working hours carefully. We also factor in drainage rules and ensure the finished surface supports compliant runoff. Our layouts suit everything from Victorian front gardens to modern apartment entrances.

Costs in Kingston typically range from £80–£140 per m², depending on base condition, thickness, edging details and access. If the existing sub-base needs rebuilding or you want additional groundworks (steps, drainage channels, new kerbs), the overall project cost rises accordingly. For a typical driveway, many homeowners budget £3,000–£9,000. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring and checking levels.
Most resin bound jobs take 2–5 days from start to finish, with the resin layer usually installed in a single day once the base is ready. Timescales depend on the size of the area, whether we’re rebuilding the base, and weather conditions (rain and low temperatures can delay laying). Light foot traffic is often possible after 24 hours, with vehicles typically after 48–72 hours.
In many cases, a resin bound driveway is permitted development because it’s permeable and SuDS compliant, which helps meet drainage requirements. However, rules can vary for listed buildings, conservation areas, new crossovers, or if you’re altering levels and boundaries. We’ll advise during the survey, check any relevant constraints, and can coordinate with the council guidance where needed so your installation stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty for resin bound installations, covering issues linked to our installation such as lifting, cracking caused by poor preparation, or defects in finish. In addition, our resin bound system comes with a 15-year guarantee for the materials and performance when installed to specification. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to care for the surface, and what can void cover (e.g., heavy skips without protection).
You can choose from a wide colour range, from warm golden aggregates to contemporary greys and charcoal blends. Popular options include a contrasting border, geometric panels, or a subtle apron detail to frame the driveway. We’ll help you match tones to your brickwork, paving and front garden style, and advise on aggregate size for the right look and grip. Samples can be provided before you decide.
