SWAPPING GRAVEL FOR RESIN IN CANNOCK
Loose gravel looks fine for a while, then spreads onto the lawn and the road. Resin bound gives you the look of stone without the mess, and you can still choose a natural blend that suits the estate.
Because resin bound is permeable, it is usually a straightforward choice under the planning rules for front gardens, which is one less thing to worry about.
RESIN BOUND FOR CANNOCK HOMES
Around Huntington, Hednesford and the edge of Cannock Chase, a lot of gardens have tall trees nearby, and that is worth thinking about before choosing resin. Pine needles, leaves and sap are easy to sweep off a resin surface, but sap can mark lighter stone if it is left. A mid tone or darker blend hides that better, and we bring samples so you can see the difference.
On the newer estates in Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Great Wyrley, many people want to replace a gravel or thin tarmac drive left by the builder. Gravel can be lifted and the area taken straight to a new base. Thin tarmac usually needs taking up too, because it was rarely laid deep enough to carry a resin surface on top.
Resin also suits paths and small areas around the house, like the strip down the side to the bins or the step at the back door. Doing those at the same time as the drive means one mix, one colour and no visible joins. We price them separately on the quote so you can choose what to include.
HOW WE LAY RESIN DRIVEWAYS IN CANNOCK
- Check the existing base, or dig out and build a new one.
- Fit edging so the resin has a firm line to finish against.
- Mix the resin and aggregate on site and trowel it smooth.
- Leave it to cure before you drive on it.
DROPPED KERBS AND PLANNING IN CANNOCK
If your kerb is not already dropped, you need permission from Staffordshire County Council before you can drive across the pavement in Cannock. It is worth applying early, because approval is not instant. We measure up with the kerb in mind so the driveway lines up with it.
Paving more than five square metres of a front garden needs planning permission from Cannock Chase District Council, unless the rainwater drains into a border, a soakaway or a permeable surface on your own property. Resin bound is permeable, so it usually meets that rule on its own.
Many of the estates around Cannock, Hednesford and Heath Hayes have narrow roads and tight parking, so we plan deliveries and the skip around your neighbours' cars before the job starts.
