Everyday Use and Surface Stability
Gravel driveways are popular and affordable, but loose stone can migrate, create ruts, and be less convenient for wheelchairs, buggies, and bicycles.
Resin drives bind aggregate into a stable surface, reducing loose stones and making day-to-day access easier.
Upkeep and Cleaning
Gravel often needs regular raking and topping up, especially in high-traffic spots and after heavy rainfall.
Resin drives usually need less maintenance and are easier to clean with sweeping and occasional washing.

Visual Finish and Long-Term Value
Gravel gives a traditional look and can suit rural settings, but consistency can vary over time as material shifts.
Resin drives provide a cleaner, more uniform finish and can improve kerb appeal where a modern look is preferred.
- Gravel driveways: lower upfront cost, higher ongoing upkeep
- Resin drives: higher finish quality, less loose material
- Both can support drainage when installed correctly
