Resin Bound Driveway Installation Upminster, Essex
Greenstone Landscapes won a competitive tender to replace the existing paved driveway with a new resin bound gravel surface. The client of this residential property in Upminster, Essex, sought to enhance the home’s exterior with this resin drive upgrade project.
Tuscan Stonebound Resin Bound Gravel
The scope of work involved excavating a 100m² area, mainly of turf, to install a new sub-base, topped with a 6mm ‘Tuscan’ Stonebound Non-UV Resin Bound Gravel surface. Additionally, the existing boundary railings were replaced with feature brickwork.
A Collaborative Approach was Taken in the Resin Driveway Installation
Specific challenges arose, notably with the ironwork between the brick piers requiring a bespoke solution due to size requirements. The existing steps were replaced with a gentle slope to ensure easy, trip-free access. Homeowner involvement in decision-making was prioritised throughout the project to meet their preferences. Much of the success of the driveway installation was due to the collaborative approach we take on our projects.
To add a natural touch, edging kerbs were incorporated to demark planters, contributing to the overall aesthetic softening of the resin bound driveway. Greenstone Landscapes remains committed to environmentally friendly practices and offers continued support beyond project completion.
This Upminster client his expressed satisfaction with the project, highlighting the Greenstone Landscapes staff’s positive attitude, the workmanship quality, and the overall finish that exceeded expectations.
Key partners and suppliers for the resin bound gravel project include Addagrip Teracco for resin, Long Rake Spar for aggregates, Garden Oasis Ltd for ironwork, Ibstock for bricks, and Marshalls for edging block paving kerbs.

Client Testimonial
‘Greenstone Landscapes completely replaced the forecourt to our bungalow, consisting of
removal of existing grass, paving and tarmac surfaces, excavating and laying new
groundwork in preparation for resin bound finish. Building new front wall with railings
between piers, a low dividing wall to our boundary and creating new flower beds. Their
advice on materials and layout was most helpful and we are delighted with the finished
result. Their quotation for the work was detailed and there were no hidden extras. All
personnel were friendly and considerate throughout.’
