Resin or tarmac: which driveway is right for your property?

Compare appearance, preparation, drainage, maintenance and suitability before choosing a surface.

Where resin performs best

Resin-bound surfacing gives a decorative, smooth finish with a wide choice of aggregate blends. Its success depends on a stable base, correct mixing, suitable weather and careful hand installation.

Where tarmac performs best

Tarmac is practical, durable and well suited to working entrances, larger areas and properties where a clean black surface is preferred. Good preparation, compaction, drainage and strong edges remain essential.

How to decide

Compare the look you want, vehicle loading, existing construction, drainage, maintenance expectations and budget. The best choice is the one properly specified for the site—not automatically the cheapest surface.
