Convert to resin
Driveway Conversion to Resin
Turn loose gravel, tired paving or even a patch of lawn into a clean, permeable resin driveway. A conversion builds a proper base underneath — not a cover-up — for a surface that looks the part and lasts.
What you get
From gravel, paving or lawn to resin
A conversion is more than a new surface — it’s a proper job underneath too. We build the right base for the new use, then lay the resin.
Gravel to resin
End the scatter and the topping-up — loose gravel becomes a clean, bound surface.
Paving to resin
Tired or sunken block paving converted to a smooth, weed-free finish.
Lawn to driveway
Turn unused garden into off-street parking with a permeable resin surface.
Proper base built
We build the right base for the new use, rather than laying over loose ground.
Permeable & SUDS-friendly
A free-draining surface that usually avoids the need for planning permission.
Old surface cleared
Gravel, blocks or turf removed and taken away, leaving a tidy result.

Why choose us
A conversion is a proper job, not a cover-up
Converting loose gravel or a lawn to resin isn’t a matter of laying resin over what’s there — you can’t bind resin to loose stone or grass and expect it to last. A real conversion builds the right base for the new use first: excavating, removing the old surface, constructing a sub-base, then laying the resin. That’s the difference between a driveway that lasts and a surface that fails the first winter.
Whatever you’re starting from, the destination is the same: converting to a resin bound driveway that’s clean and low-maintenance.
Each starting point needs the right approach. Gravel is removed and a bound base built. Paving is lifted or, if stable, sometimes overlaid. Lawn is excavated and a full base constructed, since grass and topsoil are no foundation for a drive.
Converting a lawn to parking may involve a dropped kerb for vehicle access, and a permeable resin surface usually keeps you clear of planning permission. We’ll flag what your conversion needs.
Whatever the starting surface, we clear it away, build a proper base, and lay a permeable resin finish — with a fixed quote and a written guarantee.

FAQs
Driveway conversion questions
Can you lay resin straight over gravel?
No — resin won’t bind to loose gravel and last. A proper conversion removes the gravel and builds a bound base first, which is what makes the new surface durable.
Can a lawn become a driveway?
Yes — we excavate the grass and topsoil, build a proper base, and lay a permeable resin surface. It may need a dropped kerb for vehicle access, which we’ll advise on.
Will I need planning permission?
For a permeable resin driveway, usually not, because water drains through rather than running off. Converting a lawn may need a dropped kerb application — we’ll flag what’s required.
What happens to the old surface?
It’s cleared away — gravel, blocks or turf removed and taken off site, leaving a tidy result.
Is a conversion more work than an overlay?
Generally yes — it builds a proper base rather than reusing a sound one. That’s necessary where the existing surface (like gravel or lawn) can’t serve as a base.
