00:06 Hi guys, it’s Dan from Soft Surfaces here, and on this video I’m going to be showing you a dark green Wetpour installation at a school in London.

Domestic Driveway Paving Ideas

Looking to redo your existing driveway? In need of domestic driveway paving ideas as part of a whole new look for your home? Driveways can be an absolute boon for families on a daily basis. Whether you’re getting your car off the road or are making a statement with a welcome run-up to your property, a great-looking drive should also be one that offers incredible durability and enhanced wear and tear protection.

It goes without saying that you are going to need to look for a surface that weathers the years to come, as well as one which looks the part with regard to your existing homestead.

Contact Our Team

There are a number of different driveway design ideas that can arrive through a variety of different materials. From traditional gravel and stone driveways to resin-bound stone options and even block paving, no two driveways are really quite the same – which is why we’re going to take a look at some of the most effective and attractive domestic driveway paving ideas available on the market today for you to choose from.

Resin Bound Gravel Driveways

Resin-bound gravel driveways are undoubtedly amongst some of the hardest-wearing and best-looking options available to the domestic market in the UK. Easy to set up and offering years of hassle-free use for cars and vehicles arriving to and fro, porous stone-based surfaces can easily prevent puddles and can remain steadfast against the threat of rain, weather and, of course, time itself. It’s also commonly used for paths which you can see more of on this page if you have a walkway that needs a new surface.

Gravel is a popular choice for domestic driveway paving ideas as a result of cost and availability, though there are a few more reasons as to why resin gravel may be worth your interest.

Get a Free Quote

For one, resin bound driveways are immensely tough on weeds. Troublesome and perennial weeds can make any drive look unsightly and unkempt if given half a chance and, as such, it’s high time you gave them their marching orders. They simply cannot grow up through a resin gravel drive surface – you’re fully protected.

These stone driveways are a great choice for those homeowners aiming to make regular use of their paving but want to still retain a certain look and to keep maintenance to a minimum. Maintaining resin gravel is as simple as basic cleaning on a regular basis – it’s always a good idea to focus on prevention as opposed to cures with regard to surface damage. Why not think about using a resin-bound model of the driveway for your new look?

Block Paving Driveway Designs

Block paving driveway designs are popular with many homes thanks to their diversity in application. It’s safe to say that regardless of the look you are aiming for and regardless of what look you are hoping to achieve alongside your home’s exterior, you’ll be able to achieve it with the right slabs and careful installation and attention.

Block paving and brick driveways are spectacular when cared for correctly – they can require a little upkeep over the years – but maintenance is otherwise generally very straightforward. Do keep an eye out for those pesky weeds, however – as the most stubborn shrubs can cause cracking in even the sturdiest of driveway solutions.

Talk To Us

Block paving doesn’t have to be uniform, nor does it have to all line up in the same colour. With blocks, you can create miniature mosaics and patterns of your own choosing, or you can go even further left of field with a crazy paving design that’s as random as it sounds.

Crazy paving is something that’s never really gone away – and it can make for a great-looking and resilient driveway design. For some people, block paving may not have the durability or design appeal of a resin bound driveway option – but the choice, ultimately, is always going to be yours.

Tarmac Driveway Specification

Tarmac driveways are more common than you may believe – while this mix is generally used to coat our local road surfaces and to fill in potholes, it can also be used to help provide for a low-cost and durable option. There are plenty of reasons why tarmac may be at the top of your list. Visit our tarmacadam page to learn more about how this versatile surface can be used.

Contact Us

For one, it’s uniform – it’s easy to come by, too. Tarmac is easily laid and offers very little fuss – it’s a smooth drive and for the level of traffic it’s set to receive, you won’t be experiencing any horrible potholes or chipping that you may find on well-driven roads.

The tarmac driveway specification, however, can be a little boring. Some of the more outlandish domestic paving ideas out there make use of paving slabs, patterns or resin bound options – and while tarmac may have similar durability factors to that of a stone option, it can look a little too uniform or straightforward for some homes. It can really stick out, too! If durability is a factor, tarmac will be a good option to look into.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete

Lastly, let’s consider pattern imprinted concrete. Patterned concrete is mixed and laid as-is, meaning that once it all sets, it’ll form into a stunning new creation thanks to moulds. These moulds are pressed into the ground and are left to work their magic – it’s certainly a colourful and creative option for you to consider if you are mainly worried about cultivating a certain look for the run-up to your property.

Get in Touch

Moulds come in various styles and shapes, too, and this means you may even be able to achieve a completely bespoke look. Certainly, it’s one of many domestic driveways paving ideas that allows you to get a little bit creative.

In the durability stakes, perhaps resin and tarmac have it the best – but for sheer control overlook at feel, a patterned or paved option may be worth looking into. Resin-bound driveways, for our money, offer incredible durability, stunning, effortless looks, and simple maintenance – it’s an option that can be tailor-made and tailor-laid to your specifications. Your perfect driveway should always be laid at your final discretion, of course – and these are just a few great ideas to help you.

Resin Bound Driveway Paving

Many different surfaces are used when it comes to driveways, but one of the most popular types of surfacing is resin bound stone. This material offers plenty of benefits for vehicles, people and the environment it has been laid in.

The flooring is created by mixing natural stone gravel with a polyurethane resin until a mixture is formed known as resin bound gravel. It’s immune to cracking and requires low maintenance; these are some of the main reasons why this specification is chosen above others.

With a long-lasting life cycle if cared for, and added slip resistance, this has become a popular surface type not just for driveways but for paths, patios, pool surrounds, tree pits etc. Soft Surfaces have done a lot of resin bound driveway installations for commercial and residential projects and therefore are incredibly experienced in this field. Check out this page for more details on pathway surfacing that we can offer.

Driveway Paving Ideas

This type of stone surfacing is well known for being incredibly effective for cars, wheelchairs and pushchairs as they can roll easily due to their smooth surface. A lot of driveways are made from resin stone paving for this very reason. Not only does it benefit the vehicle that is driving over the drive, but it can have a lot more advantages for the user. This is one of many driveways paving ideas that you could consider.

Due to the material that resin stone surfacing is made up of, a tarmacadam sub-base would be ideal for the actual resin stone. Reason being that it is porous and is Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) compliant. Visit this post to learn more about SuDS and how they help the environment. This is often why the sub base is recommended to be laid beforehand as they both allow for similar properties to occur.

A common problem is when driveways get flooded with puddles. Cars can struggle to get out if the puddles are big and deep enough. The stone paving is the solution to this issue as the surface is porous, meaning that water goes through into the ground below and isn’t just collected on top of the drive, avoiding the problem of flooding from occurring.

Resin Stone Driveway Designs

Firstly, the range of colours. Resin-bound paving has a brilliant wide range of colours, meaning you can make your driveway fit the design of its surroundings easily. In addition, the depth of the actual surface can be altered so it can match most ground levels without any problems. We can supply a range of design ideas and options so you can find one that suits you. Some of the common colour choices we offer include:

  • Autumn Gold
  • Beige
  • Black Basalt
  • Brittany Bronze
  • Red Granite
  • Silver Grey

Visit our Resin Bound Designer to see all of the different colour options and decide which one would suit you best.

Many people also get annoyed with how some driveways can end up growing weeds, which will require a lot of maintenance to avoid this problem from happening. Resin stone is brilliant since weeds can’t grow through the surface. This means your driveway can stay looking good without the panic of weeds and other plants growing in unwanted places.

Resin Bound Driveway Cost

It’s important to keep in mind your budget when it comes to installing a resin stone driveway. The surface can get quite expensive depending on what requirements you ask for and such. The bigger the area, the more expensive the installation will be. Other additions to the surfacing will cost a bit more but in total, you will be saving money on maintenance. This is one main factor to think about with regards to the resin-bound driveway cost.

The resin-bound surfaces will require little maintenance after the installation. Click here to see more about the maintenance methods required. Regular checks should be performed on the flooring to double-check that no damage, contaminants and/or dirt are present. Spotting these things early allows you to act quickly and to stop any more problems from occurring or developing.

Cleaning the surface isn’t a problem either. All that is required is a power washer and for it to be pointed at an angle, around 200mm up from the ground. By doing this, the stone surface will not sustain any damage when you are washing it. Regular cleaning will stop dirt from blocking the porous material and remove contaminants from spreading across it.

Apart from that, not much maintenance has to be performed on the driveway as it will take care of itself mainly. Performing regular checks of the surface could extend the life cycle by years, saving you even more money in the future. Cleaning will help even more to avoid any blockages and eventually damage.

In July 2017, our team completed an installation of porous resin bound surfacing at Liverpool Football Club’s Anfield ground. The work was done in the area surrounding the club’s retail store which features exclusive products and a café.

There is a large pedestrian space at the front of the store and around the perimeter. The club needed a strong, long-lasting and porous paving type to cover the area. Resin-bound gravel offers all of these qualities and it’s also low maintenance so it seemed the perfect choice for this project.

Resin Bound Gravel Products

Our installers laid around 4000m2 of the Addagrip Terrabound surface in a number of colours to create an attractive design. The colours were also chosen to match the same type of paving which had been installed to the main stand at Liverpool FC in 2016.

The client chose to have a blend of 6mm Rhine Gold and 6mm Tuscan Pebble in some areas, along with 6mm Lucerne Silver in others. This created a contrasting colour design to guide fans around the area on match days.

As well as the large pedestrian space, there were also a number of newly planted trees that required perimeter surfacing. To complete this, our team laid 244m2 of tree pits using the Addastone TP in Silver Grey aggregate at a depth of 75mm. We also backfilled the tree collars with loose aggregate to allow for further growth.

Porous Paving Designs

It’s becoming increasingly common to install porous paving at various locations in the UK. This is a popular flooring type for domestic driveways, outdoor path surfaces and large public spaces. It offers an attractive design along with permeable qualities which improve drainage. In fact, if you are planning on extending your driveway, it’s now law that you must install porous paving to the new area.

There are several advantages to having permeable stone surfacing in outdoor spaces. Some of these include:

  • Water passes through easily into the ground to prevent flooding
  • Durable and robust to withstand heavy regular use
  • Suitable for pedestrians, traffic, wheelchairs and pushchairs
  • Low maintenance requirements so easy to look after
  • Decorative design with plenty of colour options

These are some of the main reasons why Liverpool FC chose this specification for the Anfield ground. You can see more details of the project here and find more details of how the installation process took place.

The full work was completed prior to the grand opening of the store as well as the team’s first home game in August 2017. The club also carried out a pitch renovation in 2017 which you can see more about at their site if you are interested in this work too.

We recently carried out a project involving the installation of a resin-bound stone driveway at a residential property in Chorley. The existing surface was tarmac and the client wanted a more decorative design for the driveway and path leading up to their home. Resin-bound gravel is a great option as it is fully porous and comes in a variety of colours and designs.

Preparing the Area

Before laying the surfacing itself, our team had to prepare the existing macadam area. They did this by ensuring that the ground was completely clear of dirt and leaves. Then they fitted edgings around the perimeter of the drive and path for the surface to be laid up to.

Once this stage was complete, the team were ready to begin the installation of the paving in the desired area. As macadam provides an ideal base for the stone paving, we did not need to carry out any groundworks or install a sub-base. Visit our tarmacadam page to see how this surface can be used alone for outdoor areas.

Installing the Resin Bound Stone

This particular specification is made up of stones mixed with resin, and we’ll create this mixture on site. When the stone aggregate and resin were combined in the mixer, our installers poured the mixture out onto the surface one small space at a time. They then hand-trowelled it to ensure the correct depth and a smooth finish. This process was repeated across the entire area until it was completely covered.

After that, the flooring was left to cure and completely set before having any cars or foot traffic over it. The curing time is usually 24 hours, but waiting 48 hours is advised to ensure maximum stability. When the surface is cured, it is suitable for heavy footfall and use by cars and other vehicles. You’ll often find this specification in car parks, and at visitor attractions. Click here to see our pathways page and learn more.

Rhino Mulch, in Situ Laid Polyurethane Bound Rubber Bark Surface

Rhino mulch is an ideal surfacing option to consider if you have an existing loose play bark area. In order to keep your play area safe, your loose bark chipping need to be regularly maintained and kept and raked level. In areas of high use, loose bark can become devoid and user safety severely compromised. As our Rhino Mulch system is bound together using a specially formulated polyurethane binder, it keeps even the high use areas safe. The costing, pricing and quotation of this type of surfacing is affordable as little ground preparation is needed.

Contact Us

Rhino Mulch bonded rubber shred is an ideal solution for areas where excavation and traditional ground preparation is either not possible or not advisable, for example around mature trees. Our premium bound rubber shred system (Rhino Mulch) requires little ground preparation and can be laid over most existing surfaces and is laid over a membrane. The flexibility of the rubber system allows the tree some movement and growth, as well as being fully porous, so will not affect the existing drainage. If you have exposed tree roots in your playground which have become a hazard, then consider Rhino Mulch as the possible solution. With over 15 years’ experience within the Sports and Safety Surfacing sector, we use a specially formulated system which offers greatly improved system strength over our rivals.
