This beautiful property in Wigan received a complete driveway upgrade, replacing a tired and uneven surface with a seamless, premium resin-bound finish. The aim was to create a cleaner, brighter, and more contemporary entrance that would complement the stone buildings and landscaped surroundings—while also providing a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution.
The end result is a striking improvement in kerb appeal and everyday usability.
Project Goals

Enhance the overall appearance and value of the property
How We Transformed the Driveway
1. Preparation & Repairs
Before any resin could be applied, the existing driveway was thoroughly cleaned and assessed.
Damaged areas in the old tarmac were repaired to create a solid, even base. This stage is essential for ensuring the final surface is stable, crack-resistant, and long-lasting.
2. Resin-Bound Application
A premium UV-stable resin was mixed with a natural stone aggregate chosen specifically to complement the property’s warm stone exterior.
The mixture was blended on-site for consistency, then hand-trowelled across the entire driveway to achieve a smooth, flawless finish.
Careful attention was given to levels, drainage flow, and edging to ensure the driveway performs as well as it looks.
3. Final Curing & Clean Finish
Once laid, the resin was left to fully cure. This forms a hard, durable, flexible surface that withstands daily use and changing weather conditions without cracking.
The finished driveway is permeable, meaning water naturally drains through—no more standing water or runoff issues.
The Finished Driveway
The completed driveway dramatically enhances the appearance of the property.
Its clean, bright tone and seamless finish give the home a more spacious, high-end look while tying in perfectly with the stone buildings and landscape design.
The homeowners now enjoy:
A long-lasting, low-maintenance driveway
An attractive, modern entrance with improved kerb appeal
A surface that is smooth underfoot and practical year-round
