The Ultimate Contemporary Driveway Finish

Engineered resin bound surfaces that eradicate puddles, loose gravel, and unsightly weeds.

Resin bound surfacing is the fastest growing driveway specification in the UK, prized for its seamless aesthetic, slip resistance, and complete SuDS permeability.

At SP Design & Pave, we never cut corners. We exclusively use clear, 100% UV-stable aliphatic polyurethane resin blended with washed, kiln-dried British and European aggregates. This guarantees your driveway will never yellow or become brittle in sunlight.

Scott and his team did an amazing job on our driveway at short notice. The driveway was just waiting for resin. Scott was very professional, polite and cleared everything away. Wish we had heard of SP Design and pave sooner so they could have done the whole job. Would definitely recommend.

I recently had my driveway completed by Scott & his team and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Scott was professional, reliable, and hardworking from start to finish. He arrived on time, kept everything clean and tidy, and the quality of his workmanship is outstanding. The driveway looks fantastic and has completely transformed the front of my home. Scott communicated well throughout the project and made sure everything was completed to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a high-quality driveway. Thank you for an excellent job 👍
