The cost of installing a resin-bound driveway or patio in Ireland usually ranges between €60 and €110 per square metre. This pricing depends on several factors, including the total area, site accessibility, ground preparation, and the level of customisation such as edging or borders. While smaller jobs may fall closer to the lower end, more complex projects with decorative features may require a higher investment.

Resin-bound surfacing is a popular choice for driveways, patios, walkways, and garden paths thanks to its durability, safety, and clean, modern appearance. The finish is UV-resistant and won’t fade in the sun, slip-resistant for safety in wet conditions, and fully porous, allowing rainwater to drain naturally — which helps prevent puddles and surface flooding. Resin is also low-maintenance, easy to clean, and customisable in colour, texture, and edging, making it perfect for both residential and commercial properties in Ireland.

For a successful resin-bound surface installation, a strong and level base is essential. The best surfaces to install over are concrete or tarmac, as these provide a stable foundation that supports the resin layer without risk of cracking or movement. If your existing base is made of loose gravel, soil, or sand, it will need to be replaced or prepared properly. Our team will inspect your site during the quote process and recommend any necessary base preparation to ensure long-term durability.

No — resin-bound surfaces cannot be installed directly over gravel, soil, or loose materials. These types of surfaces do not provide the structural support required and can cause the resin to crack or shift over time. A solid, load-bearing base like concrete or tarmac is always required. If your current surface is unsuitable, we can handle all aspects of base installation or preparation before laying the resin.

Installation time varies depending on the size and layout of the area, as well as any necessary surface preparation. Most residential resin driveways and patios in Ireland are completed within one to three days. Smaller patios or garden paths may take just one day, while larger or more complex projects may require additional time.
