Resin bound driveway installed by Strong Drives in Leicestershire
01Resin bound

Resin bound driveways

Our speciality, and what most people come to us for. Natural stone aggregate bound in clear UV-stable resin and trowelled to 18mm over a properly engineered base — seamless, fully permeable, weed-free, and good for 20 years or more.

Resin patios & paths

The same material laid at 15mm for gardens: patios, side paths, poolside areas and step-free access. Smooth underfoot, no loose stone to track indoors, and no joints for weeds — it can be matched to your driveway or deliberately contrasted.

Herringbone block paving driveway installed by Strong Drives
03Block paving

Block paving

A classic that still earns its place: hard-wearing, endlessly variable in colour and pattern, and repairable block by block. We build the base and haunch the edge courses properly, which is what stops a block drive sinking or spreading.

Freshly laid tarmac driveway

Tarmac

The practical, cost-effective option for larger areas, long drives and access roads. Machine-laid base and wearing courses, set to falls for drainage and restrained with block or kerb edging so the edges don't crumble.

Cobblecrete

Pattern imprinted concrete — the look of cobbles, setts or riven stone in one continuous sealed slab. Plenty of character for a period frontage, at a fraction of the cost of laying the real thing.
