Resin bound
A smooth, stone-filled finish that lets rain soak through. No loose stones and lots of colours.
What we lay
Driveways, patios & kerbs
From a tidy single drive to a full front garden with a dropped kerb, borders and lighting. We dig out, lay a proper base and leave it sharp.
Block paving
Herringbone, borders and banding in the colour you want. Individual blocks can be lifted and relaid.
Tarmac
A clean, dark finish that's quick to lay, with edging and drainage planned in from the start.
Gravel
Laid on a grid so it stays put, with proper edging. Drains freely and crunches underfoot.
Patios & paths
Porcelain and natural stone patios, paths and steps that match the driveway out front.
Dropped kerbs
We'll help with the council application. A dropped kerb needs their approval before work starts.

The planning rule, in plain English
Front driveway? Check the 5 m² rule
In England, a new or replacement front driveway of any size doesn't need planning permission if it's permeable, or if the rain runs off onto a lawn or border to soak away.
If it's not permeable, doesn't drain like that and covers more than 5 square metres, you need planning permission.
Dropped kerbs need the council's approval separately. Listed buildings and flats have different rules.Check your driveway

Why Stoneway
It's what's underneath that counts
A proper base
We dig deep enough and compact in layers, so the surface doesn't sink or rut.
Drainage planned in
Water goes somewhere sensible, not towards the house or onto the road.

FAQ
Driveway questions
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?
In England, not if the front driveway is permeable or drains onto a lawn or border on your land. A non-permeable one over 5 square metres that drains onto the road does need permission. We'll tell you which applies before we start.
Is resin bound the same as resin bonded?
No. Resin bound mixes the stone into the resin for a smooth, permeable finish. Resin bonded scatters stone onto a resin coat, so it's textured and not permeable.
Can you do the dropped kerb?
The council has to approve a dropped kerb first, and many councils use their own approved contractors for the work on the pavement. We'll help with the application and plan the driveway around it.
How long before I can drive on it?
It depends on the surface and the weather. Block paving and gravel can usually take a car straight away; resin and tarmac need time to cure. We'll give you the exact advice for yours.
